“There was no time to sit on the sofa… Dad, take it easy."

She continued:

"He’s always him. Heartburn tablets with record sales. Pharmacies are getting rich today, huh."

What Joao Neves said about playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo for Portugal

Nineteen-year-old Benfica midfielder Joao Neves made his international debut for Portugal when he came on as a substitute against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Monday.

Neves explained that it was a surreal experience for him to share the dressing room with Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been playing for Portugal since Neves was even born (as per GOATTWorld X):

"We already talked about it. Ronaldo was playing in Euro 2004, and I wasn't even born. Now I'm playing with him. It's a funny thing to say, it's a dream.”

Neves has come through Benfica's academy and made 31 appearances for their senior team, scoring one goal and providing two assists.
