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.

It now appears that the French tactician chose to sub the superstar in order to preserve his fitness ahead of the crucial Champions League clash against high-flying Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund. Check out Zidane’s explanation in the video below during a post-match press conference.
