Cristiano Ronaldo Misses Penalty For Portugal vs Ireland At World Cup Qualifiers

𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐛𝐨𝐧, 𝐎𝐜𝐭 𝟏𝟐 (𝐖𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐒): Cristiano Ronaldo narrowly missed out on making history once again as Portugal faced Ireland in their World Cup Qualifier on Saturday. The Al Nassr forward, who needed just one more goal to become the all-time leading scorer in World Cup Qualifying history, was denied after missing a crucial penalty.

Portugal were awarded a penalty in the first half following a handball inside the Irish box. Ronaldo, eager to seize the moment, stepped up to take the spot-kick, but his effort, driven straight down the middle, was superbly saved by Irish goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.

Despite the miss, Ronaldo remained a constant attacking threat throughout the match. He came close to scoring with a fierce long-range strike that rattled the post earlier in the game, but fortune wasn’t on his side.

With the goalless performance, the record for the most goals in World Cup Qualifiers remains tied between Cristiano Ronaldo and Guatemala’s Carlos Ruiz, both with 39 goals.

The Portugal captain will have another chance to stand alone at the top when his team hosts Hungary on October 14. Fans around the world will once again be watching to see if the 39-year-old legend can add yet another milestone to his illustrious career.

In the match, Portugal’s Ruben Neves scored a stoppage-time goal to sn**ch a 1-0 win over Ireland, which preserved Portugal’s 100 percent record in World Cup qualifying Group F and consolidated the top spot.

It's Not Donald Trump; María Corina Machado Wins 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

Oslo, Oct 10 (WE THE NAGAS): The Nobel Peace Prize for 2025 has been awarded to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy, the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced on Friday.

Cristiano Ronaldo Becomes First Footballer Billionaire After Signing Landmark Deal With Al-Nassr

𝐑𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐝𝐡, 𝐎𝐜𝐭 𝟗 (𝐖𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐒): Football icon Cristiano Ronaldo has officially become the world's first billionaire footballer, following a blockbuster contract extension with Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr. The Portuguese legend, now 40, crossed the billion-dollar threshold with a net worth estimated at USD 1.4 billion, according to Bloomberg.

Ronaldo’s financial milestone comes on the heels of a new contract signed in June 2025, reportedly worth over USD 400 million. The deal also includes a 15% ownership stake in Al-Nassr.

Since joining Al-Nassr in 2023, Ronaldo has earned around USD 200 million annually in salary and bonuses, all of it tax-free due to Saudi Arabia's income policies. He also received a USD 30 million signing bonus when he originally signed with the club.

Throughout his career, Ronaldo has been locked in a fierce sporting rivalry with Argentina's Lionel Messi. While both legends have competed for top honors on the field and amassed comparable earnings and brand value, Ronaldo’s decision to join the cash-rich Saudi league has given him the edge in the financial game.

Messi, who moved to Major League Soccer in the United States in 2023, continues to earn significantly, but Ronaldo’s Saudi move have pushed him well ahead on the financial leaderboard.

Bloomberg reports that Ronaldo earned more than USD 550 million in salary during his European club career, which spanned Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus between 2002 and 2023.

His endorsement portfolio remains among the most lucrative in sports. A decade-long deal with Nike alone brings in USD 18 million annually, while partnerships with global brands like Armani and Castrol have contributed an additional USD 175 million to his overall wealth.
