Cristiano Ronaldo to miss the match: is Portugal really stronger without him.

Portugal without Ronaldo: successful match against Armenia

According to The Sun: Football fans are increasingly noting: the Portugal national team plays better without Cristiano Ronaldo. This opinion was confirmed by their impressive performance in the match against Armenia on Sunday. Portugal played without Ronaldo, as he missed the game due to a red card received for elbowing Ireland's defender Dara O'Shea last week.

“I really didn't expect such a reaction from the referee. It was an emotional moment, I was trying to help my team”

The team showed a high level of play and secured a confident victory. The next game will be a true test of endurance and team coherence without their star player.

This match once again showed that the Portugal national team has a strong squad and can achieve success even without their leader. Ronaldo's absence forced other players to step up, which may become a boost for the team's new achievements in upcoming matches.
