Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister says Portugal manager Fernando Santos ‘humiliated’ her brother by dropping him to the bench on Tuesday night. Ronaldo was named as his substitute for his country’s 6-1 destruction of Switzerland in the last 16, coming off the bench in a major tournament for the first time since 2004.
Portugal boss Santos made the bold decision to leave the team captain out of his line-up after criticising him for his reaction to be taken off in their final group game. His call was richly rewarded as Ronaldo’s replacement, Goncalo Ramos, made a name for himself with a stunning performance.Information Guide Nigeria
