A satirical news piece imagines a scenario where Prime Minister Luís Montenegro calls Cristiano Ronaldo as he prepares for a game against Denmark.
In the satire, Ronaldo fears Montenegro will ask him for money to cover the deficit, but the prime minister actually wants him to convince coach Jorge Jesus to ensure CR7 isn't benched. The conversation then shifts to Portugal's economic issues, with Montenegro defending official optimism while Ronaldo calculates energy waste and living costs.
The humorous article depicts Ronaldo's decision to request a plane from Madrid, where fuel is cheaper, as a strategic escape to avoid the bench and wasted energy. The piece concludes with a surreal scene where Montenegro, Jesus, and Ronaldo are on the same phone line, discussing minute management and team and country strategy.
