His face says it all: this is how Cristiano Ronaldo reacted when asked about Yamal

The unbelievable reaction Cristiano Ronaldo has had when compared to Lamine Yamal

Nations League has given us some impressive matches for the Final Four. Portugal, through a goal by Cristiano Ronaldo, managed to come from behind against Germany to win 2 goals to 1. Meanwhile, Spain managed to defeat France in a match that ended 5 to 4, with both national teams playing at their highest level.

With the final clearly being between Portugal and Spain, both national teams are preparing for this match. Cristiano Ronaldo, above all, has shown confidence in being able to win the second Nations League of his career. Being in fantastic form, Cristiano had a surprising reaction in his latest press conference.

Before the final, Cristiano Ronaldo was asked about Lamine Yamal's level, even being compared to the young Spaniard. Cristiano, in response, only smiled and laughed, making his opinion clear about a rather absurd comparison.

Cristiano Ronaldo's reaction

At 40 years old and being part of Al-Nassr from Saudi Arabia, Cristiano Ronaldo is still a top-level player. Scoring 35 goals and providing 4 assists in 41 matches played, Cristiano remains an extremely lethal forward. Although several seasons have passed since he left Europe, his legacy is still very much alive.

Having played for clubs like Manchester United or Real Madrid, Cristiano established himself as one of the best players in history. With an extremely enviable record, comparisons with Lamine Yamal are quite absurd.

The Barcelona player, who is only 17 years old, hasn't shown anything to be at Cristiano Ronaldo's level. That's why Cristiano's reaction is understandable, with the player himself considering this an insult to his legacy.

Not even in Cristiano Ronaldo's shadow

Being the all-time top scorer for Real Madrid and having trophies like several Champions Leagues and Ballon d'Ors, it is clear that Cristiano is unique. The only reason there is any comparison with Lamine Yamal is because of the praise from some Culers who overrate everything.
