Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel criticized Cristiano Ronaldo for playing in Portugal’s 2-0 Euro 2024 defeat to Georgia.
On The Obi One Podcast, Mikel noted Ronaldo’s disappointing campaign, failing to score in five appearances.
He argued that at 39, Ronaldo should have rested for that match to be fresher for subsequent games.
Mikel acknowledged Ronaldo’s legacy but felt Messi’s recent Copa America victory with Argentina puts him ahead.
