Cristiano Ronaldo embarrassed his teammates with his skillset and what he was able to teach them with his way of playing football.
That is according to Rui Costa – one of the most iconic players in the history of the Portugal national team – who explained Ronaldo’s impact when he was first called up to the international team.
Ronaldo made his debut for Portugal in August 2003 as he came on as a second-half substitute for Luis Figo against Kazakhstan, just a month after he joined Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon.
