Spain, Portugal assured of quarterfinal spots in UEFA Nations League
Spain ensured it has the chance to defend its UEFA Nations League title after booking a place in the quarterfinals thanks to a 2-1 win away to Denmark in Group 4 on Friday.
Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo put up a video of himself getting a haircut from girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez at his home in Madeira for his 210 million plus followers on Instagram.
Ronaldo has been in his hometown for over a month now after football in Italy was suspended due to the coronavirus outbreak in the country. Italy is one of the worst affected countries by the pandemic with nearly 15,000 deaths and 118,000 infected cases.
Ronaldo and his teammates at Juventus have agreed to waive off four month’s salary that will save the club more than 90 million Euros. Three Juventus players have also tested positive for coronavirus. Defender Daniel Rugani was the first to be reported and eventually, midfielder and French World Cup winner Blaise Matuidi and Argentine star Paulo Dybala all tested positive.
