Cristiano Ronaldo reveals true reason for new goatee beard and its not about Lionel Messi

May 2024 · 1 minute read

Portugal talisman Cristiano Ronaldo has a slightly new look, and it’s here to stay.

The four-goal forward, who has netted all of Portugal’s 2018 World Cup goals so far, is growing a goatee beard for an unorthodox reason.

Many saw this and believed it was a reference to the subtle G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time) war that Ronaldo had been having with Lionel Messi lately, however he explained that it is actually there for a different reason.

“My beard?” said Ronaldo after Portugal’s 1-0 win over Morocco, “It was a joke with Quaresma.”

He continued, “We were in the sauna and I was shaving, I left a goatee and told him if I scored vs Spain, I won’t shave it until the end of the World Cup.

“It brought good luck and I scored vs Spain and today vs Morocco, so I’ll keep it!”
