The lenses of photographers during the 2022 World Cup quarter-final match Portugal-Morocco captured the strong emotions of the girlfriend of the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, Georgina Rodriguez.
Portugal lost 1-0 to Morocco, which was the first time in the history of Arab and African teams that they reached the semi-finals of the World Cup. Portugal coach Fernando Santos decided not to include Ronaldo among the key players and introduced him as a replacement at the beginning of the second half, and at the post-match press conference said that he “does not regret his decision”.
Georgina was highly critical on her Instagram account, where she said, “Your friend and coach made the wrong decision today… this friend you have praised with many words of admiration and respect.” And she added: “The same person who, having entered the match, saw how everything changed.. But it was too late.. You can not underestimate the best player in the world, your most powerful weapon.” And she continued: “At the same time, you can’t cling to someone who doesn’t deserve it. Life teaches us lessons. Today we are not defeated. Today we found out. Ronaldo, we love you.”
