Cristiano Ronaldo's humility continues to shine, even among his fellow footballers at the ongoing UEFA EURO 2024.

Georgia star player Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was named MVP as his country defeated Portugal 2-0 to book their place in the second round of EURO 2024.

He scored the opener and was heavily involved throughout as the underdogs claimed an unlikely win.

Speaking after the game, the Napoli winger spoke glowingly about a pre-game encounter between him and the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo.

Kvaratskhelia said. “Before the game, Cristiano came and he wished me success; I never imagined he would come to talk to me. He is a great player and a great person.

That is why he is a great personality inside and outside of football; I have a lot of respect for him, and he is one of the best players in the world. 

"When he comes to talk to you before the game, it's for a reason; That helped us believe that we could do something today.

"We are tremendously proud. We have beaten a great team,” he explained.
