Ronaldo Frustrated as Portugal Stumbles in Friendly Against Slovenia

Cristiano Ronaldo expressed frustration as he left the pitch following Portugal 2-0 defeat to Slovenia in a friendly. Despite his return to the starting lineup, Portugal couldn’t secure a win with goals from Adam Cerin and Timi Elsnik sealing Slovenia surprise victory.

Ronaldo minimal impact on the game was notable, as he spent more time appealing for fouls than influencing the match. Portugal under Roberto Martinez suffered their first loss in 11 games, following their 5-2 win against Sweden. They now aim to regroup for upcoming friendlies against Finland, Croatia and Ireland before Euro 2024.

Slovenia on the other hand will face Armenia and Bulgaria in preparation for the tournament where they’ll encounter Denmark and Serbia before facing England.
