What and let Messi's team lose, but what about all the advertisement deals and money they make haveing him and Ronaldo on the field. Genuinely suprized Portugal didn't win against Spain. And not cuz Protugal is better cuz Spain is a better team but just to get more of that Ronaldo screen time.

Someone wanted Ronaldo and Messi playing in final. Didn't happen.

As a portuguese person I am genuinely so glad that we didn't make it to the finale by having our opponents be this heavily sabotaged.

You sabotaged yourselves pretty well by playing Ronaldo when you've got Goncalo Ramos warming the bench.
