it's just kinda funny how ronaldo looked so shook when they subbed him off like he didn't expect it at all

Glad Ronaldo was subbed so people realise he isn't the reason we can't score. Jokes.

The thing about Ronaldo being subbed is now he's gonna go deadlift a 800 for a week then score a hattrick next game. Not worried.
