Portugal defender Ruben Dias has dismissed the criticism aimed at Cristiano Ronaldo following the team’s 1-1 draw with DR Congo in their FIFA World Cup 2026 opener, calling it “noise” and stressing the squad remains united. Ronaldo struggled in the match, recording just 25 touches and failing to score, extending his run to 10 matches without a goal in major competitions. Portugal face Uzbekistan on June 23 aiming for their first win of the tournament.
