Portugal and Spain will make their debut in Group B of the group stage of the 2018 World Cup on Friday, June 15. Cristiano Ronaldo , therefore, will face one of his black beasts , since the Real Madrid star has faced four times against 'La Roja' and has not managed to score any .
The first of the crosses was lived in the Eurocopa of 2004, where Portugal left in the ditch to Spain (1-0) thanks to a solitary goal by Nuno Gomes, eliminating the national team of the group stage.
In 2010 came the second meeting of CR7 against Spain, in the World Cup in South Africa, where a goal from David Villa (1-0) left Portugal out of action in the round of 16.
The Real Madrid star and his third confrontation with 'La Roja' came a few months later, in a friendly in which the Lusus destroyed his rival (4-0), although the '7' also remained unmarked.
And the last affront before the one that will be lived in Russia was in the Eurocopa 2012, where Portugal was eliminated in the shootout of penalties of the semifinals after the tie to zero of the encounter. Cristiano added in this way his fourth 'zero' against Spain , without also participating in the definition from the twelve steps, as Spain won 2-4 and Real Madrid did not even get to kick because he was going to be the fifth pitcher.
If only the official matches are counted (2004, 2010 and 2012), Ronaldo only shot twice on goal in three games.
