Scholes: Ronaldo will be damn angry because Messi scored a hat-trick and Mbappe scored a double

Former Manchester United footballer Paul Scholes spoke out about Portugal striker Cristiano Ronaldo after meeting with DR Congo at the 2026 World Cup. The 41-year-old striker appeared on the field from the first minutes and played the full match without scoring any goals. “Cristiano will be damn angry because Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick, Kylian Mbappe scored two goals... It will just kill him. I feel sorry for Martinez because he tries to accept this situation and says: “No, I have the best scorer in the world.” But deep down he must understand that this is harmful to his team,” Goal quotes Scholes as saying. The 2026 World Cup was Ronaldo's sixth in his career. In the next rounds, the Portuguese will meet with Uzbekistan and Colombia.
