Gavi Backs Cristiano Ronaldo Amidst Public Scrutiny
Gavi, the rising star from Barcelona, has recently voiced his support for Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo. This comes at a time when the 41-year-old Al-Nassr player is facing considerable criticism.
Ronaldo has started in all four of Portugal's matches as they secured a place in the World Cup's Round of 16. However, a prevailing sentiment suggests that the team might benefit more from utilizing other talents and bringing Ronaldo on as a substitute.
The consistency and impact of his performances have been questioned for some time, with Ronaldo often struggling to influence the overall game when he isn't scoring.
Both the media and fans have been harsh in their judgment of the former Real Madrid player, especially in contrast to the ongoing praise received by stars like Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé.
When questioned by the media ahead of Spain's upcoming match against Portugal, Gavi was asked about Ronaldo.
The Barcelona midfielder took the opportunity to defend the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, stating:
"I've never witnessed criticism of Cristiano from his teammates; it's always from the outside... His teammates hold him in high regard. He is one of the greatest players of all time and can change the game at any moment."
