Cristiano Ronaldo will start his first knockout match at the 2022 World Cup from the bench.
The Portuguese newspaper "Record" reported that the 37-year-old forward will not start in the starting lineup.
C. Ronaldo played all the group stage matches from the very first minutes and scored one goal in 3 games.
Instead of the veteran, the round of 16 match will be started by "Benfica" forward Goncalo Ramos.
