Did Cristiano Ronaldo refuse to swap shirts with anyone from the Israel nation team?
Did CR7 snub the Israeli national team?
Alex Blower:
Video footage has emerged indicating that Cristiano Ronaldo may have snubbed the offer of swapping shirts following Portugal’s 3-3 draw with Israel in a recent World Cup qualifier – though the reasons behind this potential snub remain unclear.
On the one hand, Ronaldo may have been left frustrated by the result itself which has seen Portugal lose further ground on group leaders Russia.
Alternatively, some pro Palestinian websties are claiming that the action is an indication of his support for their cause. Ronaldo has been vocal in his criticism of Israel’s behaviour in the past.
