On Saturday, the Portuguese national team played a 2-2 draw with Serbia in the qualifying match for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. However, the Portuguese national team had to secure a victory as in the last moments of the match, Cristiano Ronaldo's shot crossed the goal line, but the referee did not see it, and VAR and goal line technology are not used in qualifying matches. Such decision of the referees angered the Portuguese leader, and immediately after the match, he threw his captain's armband to the ground in frustration and left the pitch. After the match, C. Ronaldo stated, "Being the captain of the Portuguese national team is one of the greatest honors for me, and I am very proud of it. I always give my all for my country. However, sometimes there are difficult moments, especially when we feel that certain decisions have harmed all the people of Portugal," said Ronaldo after the match.
