Former England striker Michael Owen has passionately defended Cristiano Ronaldo following Portugal's disappointing 1-1 draw against DR Congo.

Cristiano Ronaldo has found a staunch ally in former international team-mate Bruno Alves as the legendary forward faces intense scrutiny at the 2026 World Cup.
