As the 2022 World Cup kick-off edges, Ronaldo has still been the talk of the town, with fans wondering how things will end after the club released a statement saying they've initiated a process to respond to Ronaldo.

Silva angry at Ronaldo questions

While answering questions from the press, the Manchester City star was quizzed about Ronaldo, and he was livid.

“The news that comes from England has nothing to do with the national team, so I won’t say anything. It doesn't concern me, it concerns Cristiano. I don’t have to comment," according to the Mirror.

Video emerged of Ronaldo's tense interaction with Bruno Fernandes after the interviewer, but Bernardo says it was blown out of proportion.

"I don’t see a big deal out of it. There’s no weird environment. It’s a shame we’ve only been talking about this when we have a World Cup to play. I don’t see a big issue.”

Portugal open their World Cup with a tough game against Ghana next week on Thursday, November 24th. They are considered dark horses in the tournament, according to the Telegraph.

Fernades addresses Ronaldo's handshake

Sports Brief earlier reported on Ronaldo's United teammate Bruno Fernandes addressing the awkward handshake between them.

Fernandes took to social media with a cheeky remark amid reports of a falling out with Cristiano Ronaldo.

A video emerged on Tuesday seemingly showing Fernandes reluctant to engage with Ronaldo amid the 37-year-old’s bombshell interview with Piers Morgan.
