Portugal manager Fernando Santos has a big decision to make regarding Cristiano Ronaldo’s status against Morocco in the 2022 FIFA World Cup on Saturday.
in Qatar, remaining, Santos faces the dilemma of bringing the experienced Ronaldo back onto the pitch in a high-stakes environment or keeping the inexperienced but hot feet of Ramos in the starting XI. Santos has yet to confirm which choice he'll make., but the Atlas Lions have one of the best defenses remaining in the tournament. They've played Croatia, Belgium, Canada and Spain and the only goal they conceded was an own goal against Les Rouges.
It would make sense, then, for Santos to keep the in-form Ramos starting over an out-of-form Ronaldo. It's a strange thing to say that Ronaldo, Portugal's greatest ever player, should not be starting in the nation's biggest international game since the 2016 UEFA Euro Final vs. France and the 2018 World Cup round of 16 vs. Uruguay, but Father Time is no doubt catching up to the star.
