  • While Ronnie was sensational against Lithuania, the national coach, Fernando Santos, was hardly surprised by his performance, despite the former being substituted at Juventus, last weekend, following a bruised knee.

    "He's fine. I had no doubt about that, as I said before the match. Other people did, but I didn't have any doubts," he said following the match.
