COUNTRY NOT CLUB FOR CR7

FROM FRONT PAGE player to score in five World Cup tournaments, as Fernando Santos’ men edged a five-goal thriller.

Ronaldo, who netted a second-half penalty, is looking for a new club. But he insisted his focus is now on his country and said: “This was a beautiful moment – my fifth World Cup and we won.

“It was a week that finished a chapter and it is now closed. But a world record! The first player in five World Cups to score. That makes me proud and all the rest does not matter.”

Former United teammate Bruno Fernandes insisted the row is fuelling Ronaldo’s bid to lift the World Cup.

He said: “Cris likes to work under that criticism from everyone.”
