Ex-Liverpool player Didi Hamann found a way to slam Cristiano Ronaldo after France's 2-0 win over Morocco in the 2022 FIFA World Cup semi-final on Wednesday, 14 December.
Theo Hernandez and Randal Kolo Muani scored for Les Bleus to book Didier Deschamps' side's ticket for the final of the World Cup. The Moroccans were left in despair, but they didn't forget to acknowledge the fans, who had shown tremendous support for them during the game.
Roughly 55,000 out of the 69,000 attendees supported Walid Regragui's side during the game.
After the match Hamann praised the Moroccans for their attitude, and also went on a tirade against Cristiano Ronaldo. Portugal were defeated by the Atlas Lions in the last eight of the tournament.
Ronaldo was the first player down the tunnel after the game. The Portuguese superstar left the field with teary eyes, but that didn't sit well with Hamann.
He said after France vs. Morocco (via JOE):
"You talk about these superstars, top earners, top players, and one of the greatest players, who left the scene about a week ago, in Ronaldo. He couldn't even congratulate them, after the game.
"Morocco won that game, they did something historic, and he didn't even have the dignity to congratulate them for what they had achieved. And now you watch them, and how they shake hands with the French, and the dignity and graciousness they show in defeat. Brilliant."
Ronaldo is currently working on securing his next club after the termination of his Manchester United contract via mutual agreement. He was recently seen training at Real Madrid's facilities.
AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic speaks about Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United exit
AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has previously played for Manchester United, recently claimed that the true story behind Cristiano Ronaldo's exit from the Red Devils will never come out. The Swedish legend said (via India Today):
“His exiting United, I think when things happen, we will never know the true story. They say what they want to say, he says what he needs to say to protect himself, then you have the coach that says these things to protect himself. Then the club says things - not like me.
"I will tell you how it really happened. But we are all different. Everybody is careful about their image. For me the perfect image is being yourself. The true story we will not know my friend."
