Ah yes — Portugal & Ronaldo Remontada — that classic storyline! 😈🇵🇹🔥
Whether it’s international tournaments or Champions League nights, Cristiano Ronaldo has made a career out of epic comebacks and carrying his teams when the pressure’s at its highest.
Here are a few legendary remontada moments involving Ronaldo and Portugal:
🏆 EURO 2016 — Underdogs to Champions
Portugal’s path to the title was anything but smooth: they drew all 3 group games.
Ronaldo’s iconic performance vs. Hungary (3–3): scored twice and assisted once to keep Portugal alive.
In the final vs. France, Ronaldo went off injured early… but he turned into a touchline manager, firing up the team as Eder scored the winning goal in extra time. Remontada energy in spirit and leadership!
🌍 World Cup 2018 — Hat-trick vs. Spain
Pure captain’s performance. Dragging the team on his back.
Ronaldo scored a hat-trick (including a last-minute free kick) to draw 3–3 against Spain in one of the greatest group stage matches ever.
🧤 World Cup 2022 (sort of…)
While Ronaldo’s role shifted, Portugal delivered a 6-1 demolition of Switzerland in the Round of 16 — showcasing the team’s ability to rise to the occasion.
Though he wasn’t the central figure in this remontada, the Ronaldo legacy continued to fuel belief.
