Almancil, Portugal – In a spectacular display of skill and teamwork, Portugal’s national football team decimated Luxembourg 9-0 at the Estadio Algarve in Almancil, and fans are now buzzing about a potential changing of the guard.

Roberto Martinez’s squad delivered a relentless performance, even in the absence of their star player, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was suspended for the match. The goal parade began in the 12th minute when Goncalo Inacio struck, setting the tone for a memorable night. Inacio’s namesake, Goncalo Ramos, soon joined the party with two more goals, putting Portugal firmly in control at 3-0 within 33 minutes of play. Inacio continued to torment Luxembourg, notching another goal just before halftime, sending Portugal into the break with a commanding 4-0 lead.

The second half brought no respite for Luxembourg as Diogo Jota took center stage with a brace of his own, finding the back of the net in the 57th and 77th minutes. Ricardo Horta (67′), Bruno Fernandes (83′), and Joao Felix (88′) also made their mark on the scoresheet, adding to the humiliation of the visiting team.

Fans, who were electrified by Portugal’s performance, showered praise on Bruno Fernandes, who not only scored but also delivered a remarkable hat-trick of assists, including both of Inacio’s goals and Jota’s first. As the Estadio Algarve roared in appreciation, fans on social media began to voice a sentiment that has been quietly brewing: it’s time for Cristiano Ronaldo to pass the baton.

One fan tweeted, “I don’t want to hear anybody talk about Ronaldo carrying Portugal again. Bruno Fernandes is the new king.” Another fan chimed in, saying, “If Ronaldo has any iota of shame, he will retire from Portugal’s national team after this match and pass the baton to Bruno Fernandes. If he needed any clarity regarding his position in the national team, he should have gotten it today — the boys are much better off without him.”

The resounding victory and the emergence of Bruno Fernandes as a standout performer have ignited a conversation about the future of Portugal’s national team and whether it’s time for the iconic Cristiano Ronaldo to step aside and let a new generation take the reins.

As Portugal revels in this stunning win, the football world eagerly awaits the next chapter in this evolving story of talent, succession, and leadership in the world of international football.

In a surprising twist, Kylian Mbappe has turned down Paris Saint-Germain’s latest contract offer, sparking fresh rumors about his future. The 24-year-old forward’s rejection comes after his recent return to the PSG first-team.

While PSG hoped to secure his commitment, Mbappe’s decision has caught the attention of Real Madrid. The Spanish club is ready to engage in talks if given the green light.

Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid’s manager, had earlier ruled out a move due to PSG’s high asking price for the world-class player. However, Mbappe’s refusal puts PSG in a tough spot, as he could potentially leave as a free agent next year.

French national team manager Didier Deschamps has denied influencing Mbappe’s return to PSG’s first team. The player had been on the transfer list after not extending his contract, leading to his temporary exclusion.

In a separate report, Sports Brief indicates that Real Madrid is preparing a final bid for Mbappe, setting the stage for an exciting conclusion to this summer’s transfer drama.
