The Portugal-Spain match in Braga was by no means the best in Cristiano Ronaldo's career.
Due to the Portuguese player's lack of speed and accuracy, he came close to scoring on several occasions but ultimately failed to score.
After the match, the critics came out in full force against the Manchester United striker, including former Italy and Real Madrid player Antonio Cassano.
"Someone like Cristiano has to think for himself, and if you can't do that anymore, you have to recalculate," Cassano said.
And the former Italy international continued, "It is a rule in all sports. Retire, that is enough... He won everything and was a phenomenon... He earned a lot of money and now he is no longer participating in Manchester United."
He also compared Ronaldo to his permanent rival, Lionel Messi, noting that the Argentine is better than Ronaldo because of the sacrifices he made.
Cassano stressed that "Messi is like Diego Maradona and when we talk about sacrifices, we must remember that Leo left Argentina at the age of 14, and he overcame many physical problems."
He concluded, "He spent 4 years playing alone in Barcelona, and these are sacrifices."
