Cristiano Ronaldo said some TV channels had “tried to kill” him over their criticism, adding that he could “dodge the bullet.” Ahead of Portugal’s Nations League match with Wales, he said he would keep playing for the team while he believes he can contribute.
Ronaldo said he had considered stepping away from Portugal after its World Cup exit, but decided to continue following conversations with coach Jorge Jesus and president Pedro Proença.
His remark prompted fans to compare him to Homelander, the near-invincible character from The Boys. The article says Ronaldo had 979 career goals and wants to reach 1,000 without becoming obsessed with the milestone.
