Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister, Elma Aveiro, has slammed Portugal boss Fernando Santos for “humiliating” her brother by surprisingly dropping him for the last-16 clash against Switzerland.
Ronaldo was replaced by Goncalo Ramos in the Portugal line-up and the Benfica striker justified his inclusion by netting a sensational hat-trick in his side’s 6-1 demolition of Switzerland. The win sets up a quarter-final clash with Morocco, who beat Spain on penalties earlier on Tuesday.
Yet a lot of the focus has been on Ronaldo as his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez aimed a sarcastic dig at the Portugal boss for overlooking her partner for selection.
