🎥 I’m back! I’m back!: CR7 hits back at his haters | OneFootball

Quite obviously, a huge weight was lifted off Cristiano Ronaldo’s shoulders today. The 41-year-old contributed a brace to Portugal’s 5-0 win over Uzbekistan.

But Ronaldo also made it impressively clear that the heavy criticism of recent days had not passed him by without leaving a mark.

Right after the final whistle, he was filmed by a TV camera on the pitch. And CR7 used the opportunity to send a message to his haters. Looking straight into the lens, he loudly made it clear: "I'm back! I'm back!"

In the TV interview that followed shortly afterward, Ronaldo reinforced that message once again and explained that "I’ve been delivering performances like today’s for 23 years."

He was also quick to speak out on Instagram.

What do you think: Is the megastar’s reaction to the recent mockery justified? Or is Ronaldo laying it on a bit thick considering the weak opposition from Uzbekistan? Write your thoughts in the comments!
