Cristiano Ronaldo's reaction to being overshadowed by Darwin Nunez at the World Cup

Although it is very impressive the mark that Cristiano Ronaldo has already left as a World Cup player, the new generations of the different national teams have gradually begun to gain ground on the legends who are still active, passing the former Manchester United player this situation during his first 45 minutes against Uruguay, as the Liverpool attacking element, Darwin Nunez, has shown he has what it takes to be the MVP of the match and deny that recognition to the 7 jacket of Portugal.

The Portuguese striker throughout his career has been a player who always gives his best on the pitch no matter the opponent, demanding more when he has a player of similar conditions that can take the spotlight throughout the 90 minutes, being Nunez just that element that let Ronaldo shine with his constant participation in the attack.

Despite competing at the same level as one of the new international gems, Cristiano Ronaldo did end up getting frustrated at not being able to make a difference with his national team, as during the first half he only had a couple of chances with little advantage in front of goal, causing his shots to be rushed or without much danger, not intervening in the scoreboard to leave with a goalless draw at half-time.

On the other side, Darwin was not an overwhelming player in front of goal, but in his favour was the collective nature of the group that made him appear constantly in the opposing midfield, having more ball possession but without much clarity in the last third of the pitch, an area where the attackers of both teams lost the idea of the game and the participation of both Ronaldo and Núñez ended.

Ronaldo scored for Uruguay

Although Ronaldo is living his last World Cup, neither his age nor his drop in play at Manchester United were able to stop him on the fields of Qatar, for unlike Nunez who still has a long way to learn from, the Portuguese striker did not succumb to despair and got his reward by scoring the 1-0 scorer in the second half.
