Cristiano Ronaldo left with face full of blood in Portugal's clash vs ... (ClutchPoints)

Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo was left bloodied after a gruesome clash with Czech Republic's keeper during a game with Portugal.

At this rate, it also looks like the Selecao is on the verge of making the Nations League Finals. It’s frankly insane that a player of Cristiano Ronaldo’s caliber is sitting on the bench with a team like the Red Devils who aren’t even Champions League quality. Most clubs weren’t willing to pay his hefty salary and saw the player as a distraction to their current squad.

Nations League: Portugal beats Czechs, Spain loses to Swiss (The San Diego Union-Tribune)

Diogo Dalot has helped Portugal take control of its Nations League group by scoring his first two international goals in a 4-0 rout at the Czech Republic.

Ukraine is two points behind after routing Armenia 5-0 before it plays the Scots in Krakow. Switzerland has two more points than the Czechs in last place. Switzerland hosts the Czech Republic in St. Bruno Fernandes doubled the lead in first-half injury time moments before Ronaldo was guilty of the handball inside his own area. “They said that it was easy to beat Switzerland and we have seen that is not true in the least,” Luis Enrique said. International soccer’s all-time leading scorer with 117 goals also committed a penalty that, fortunately for him, the Czechs failed to convert with the score 2-0.
