Against the backdrop of Portugal's defeat - the interrupted series of C. Ronaldo

The Portuguese national team had to admit the obvious advantage of the Netherlands last night 0:3.

The Dutch team not only did everything perfectly in attack, but also did not make mistakes in defense, which is mostly reflected in the game of the Portuguese star. Cristiano Ronaldo in this match remained in his own shadow.

C. Ronaldo entered these matches after 9 consecutive games in which he managed to score at least one goal. Interestingly, out of those 9 matches, he scored a brace in seven of them. However, Portugal failed to extend this series to double digits.

Truth be told, this is not the only interrupted series for C. Ronaldo. The footballer, who had scored 19 goals in his last 9 matches, could not execute a single shot towards the goal. Such a phenomenon in C. Ronaldo's game was recorded for the first time this season.

In every match of this season, the Portuguese player wearing both Real Madrid and Portugal national team jerseys had managed to make at least one shot towards the goal per match.

Perhaps these series would not have been interrupted, but one of the best footballers on the planet was substituted in the 68th minute.
