Ronaldo pays tribute to Jota

Ronaldo thanked Jota after scoring.

In this match, after Joao Felix opened the scoring in the 10th minute, Ronaldo scored to make it 2-0 just 11 minutes later. Immediately after scoring, CR7 pointed to the sky to pay tribute to his late teammate Diogo Jota.

Previously, Ronaldo caused controversy when he did not attend Jota's funeral in Gondomar, Portugal in July. According to Record , the 40-year-old striker was said to be "very shocked to hear about Jota's passing", but still chose not to attend to ensure order during the solemn ceremony.

Some fans criticized Ronaldo for his absence, forcing his sister Katia to defend CR7 on social media. Ronaldo also chose to stay silent instead of explaining.

After Ronaldo, it was defender Joao Cancelo's turn to celebrate similarly when he scored Portugal's third goal against Armenia. In this match, Ronaldo and Felix were the two players who scored a double.

Ronaldo scored his 140th international goal, and his 942nd career goal. Both are unprecedented statistics. This was also Ronaldo's 7th goal against Armenia.

On September 9, Portugal will travel to Hungary's home field.

Ronaldo threw away the captain's armband. Late on August 23, Cristiano Ronaldo expressed disappointment when Al Nassr lost 3-5 to Al Ahli in the penalty shootout of the Saudi Arabian Super Cup final at Hong Kong Stadium.
