Portugal suffered a major setback after being eliminated from the Nations League by France. For Cristiano Ronaldo, this was just the coup de grace in a nightmare year for the legendary scorer.
Cristiano could only lift a trophy with Juventus, while many predicted before the season that the Bianconeri would be more competitive in the Champions League and comfortably win the Coppa Italia. Nor has he been able to prevent Portugal from falling short against France.
In early 2020, the forward looked set for a decent season finale. However, after the disastrous COVID-19 pandemic, the Bianconeri ended up making a faltering comeback. However, they finally got the Scudetto.
But, unfortunately for Cristiano, Juve did not measure up last season. In the Coppa Italia, he was almost eliminated by AC Milan, with Cristiano missing a penalty in the tie, and although he advanced, Napoli ended up taking the trophy from the Portuguese star in the final. And in the Champions League, Lyon was far superior to Juventus, as they ended the Italians’ European campaign early.
Although everything indicated that Cristiano was ready for redemption, after a season in which he probably would not have won The Best or the Ballon d’Or, the 35-year-old ended up infected with COVID-19. He had to quarantine him and that led to him missing the first two games of the Bianconeri Champions League this season.
As if that were not enough, with the Portuguese team, Cristiano could not maintain Portugal’s hopes of winning the Nations League again. A goal from N’Golo Kante struck down any possibility and opened the opportunity for a new reign. Without a doubt, it will be a year to forget Cristiano.
