Exposing Ronaldo goals vs top 10 nations in tournaments.
[THREAD]
Before exposing his goals, I would like to quickly talk about something: People tends to forget Ronaldo fraudness in big games before he become a poacher. Let me remind you his all time stats against big nations:
🇩🇪 Germany: 1 goal in 5 games
🇧🇷 Brazil: 0 goals in 3 games
🇫🇷 France: 0 goals in 6/7 games
🇪🇸 Spain: 0 goals in 7/8 games
🇮🇹 Italy: 0 goals in 2 games
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England: 0 goals in 3 games
Ghosted vs 🇧🇪Belgium in the EURO 2021.
0 goals vs south american 🌎 teams in official games.
Now let's talk about his goals vs top 10. Ronaldo has 12 goals vs top 10 teams, 90% of them coming in group stage games against washed sides from top countries. Let's take look.
2 goals vs France 🇫🇷.
Group stage game. 2 penalties against a washed France side that couldn't beat Hungary🇭🇺 in the group stage, and went out in Round of 16 against Switzerland🇨🇭.
1 goal vs Germany🇩🇪.
Useless 0,05 meters tapin in a 4-2 loss. Again in the group stage.
3 goals vs Spain🇪🇸.
Group stage game. A fluke penalty, a goalkeeper mistake and a good freekick against a Spain side which went out in the Round of 16 vs Russia🇷🇺.
2 goals vs The Netherlands🇳🇱 (EURO 2012).
2 goals against a Netherlands side which couldn't even make it to the Knock out rounds. They had 0 WINS and 3 LOSSES in the group stages.
1 goal vs Czech Republik 🇨🇿 and 3 goals vs Switzerland 🇨🇭.
These nations shouldn't even be considered top 10. Also, the 3 goals vs Switzerland were in the nations league, a friendly tournament that Messi can't even play. Not a fair comparasion.
1 goal vs The Netherlands🇳🇱 (EURO 2004).
Finally a goal in a important KO game. However, it was against an average Netherlands side that got second in their group stage and had to win on penalties in QF against Sweden🇸🇪. Let's also not forget Portugal had a superteam.
As you can see his goals are fugazi. When he faces good teams in KO stages he ghosts. Actually, in KO stages, he is yet to score a goal/give an assist in World Cup. In Euro he has 3 KO goals in 11 games, those too coming against the almighty Wales🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 and Czech Republik🇨🇿.
Little example:
He faced Spain in the knock out stages of the World Cup 2010 and EURO 2012 . He had embarrassing perfomances in both of them. These Spain sides ended up becoming the champions
So:
-Good side + KO stages= 0 goals
-Washed side + group stages= hatrick.
End of thread.
Follow me for more great tweets.
In Ronaldo's hatrick vs Spain, I forgot to mention that Spain sacked Lopetegui and appointed a new manager 2 days before the game vs portugal. That Spain team was in shambles. in the group stage they struggled against Iran 🇮🇷(1-0) and drew 2-2 to Morroco🇲🇦.
