Cristiano Ronaldo Jr has reached a major milestone, celebrating his 16th birthday with a lavish garden party organised by Georgina Rodriguez.

Ruben Dias has insisted that the intense scrutiny focused on captain Cristiano Ronaldo is nothing out of the ordinary for the national team. The Manchester City centre-back has called for unity within the squad after their disappointing opening World Cup draw, emphasising that outside noise will not derail their ultimate tournament ambitions.

Cristiano Ronaldo is an all-time great. But this World Cup belongs to the present, and fans are making a compelling, hilarious case that Raphinha is the right call.

Cristiano Ronaldo has come under fire after Portugal were held to a draw by DR Congo in their opening match of the 2026 World Cup.
