Man City ace Bernardo Silva makes Cristiano Ronaldo admission after ex-Manchester United star dropped by Portugal

Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva has insisted that former Manchester United ace Cristiano Ronaldo won't cause a rift in Portugal's World Cup camp after being dropped.

Ronaldo was named among the substitutes for Portugal's Round of 16 clash against Switzerland, with manager Fernando Santos admitting that he was not impressed with the 37-year-old's reaction to being substituted against South Korea.

The veteran frontman came on to replace Joao Felix in the 73rd minute on Tuesday night, but he was unable to get on the scoresheet as he continues to chase Eusebio's World Cup goal record. Goncalo Ramos, who started in place of Ronaldo in attack, scored a hat-trick in the 6-1 victory.
