Internal conflict in Portugal? Cristiano Ronaldo unhappy with his goalkeeper for not rushing out, leading to a goal conceded; the goalkeeper disagrees and responds with a gesture of his hands.

Following Portugal's surprising 1-1 draw with the Democratic Republic of Congo in the first round of the World Cup, multiple Portuguese players received widespread criticism. On June 19, Beijing time, the social media account "AlNassrTribune" released a clip of Ronaldo and goalkeeper Diogo Costa clashing after the goal was conceded, triggering a wave of debate.

When the Democratic Republic of Congo scored the equalizer, Portuguese goalkeeper Diogo Costa did not rush out to punch the ball away but remained on the goal line.

Ronaldo was visibly frustrated and subsequently expressed his dissatisfaction to Diogo Costa, making a "rush out" gesture to indicate the goalkeeper's wrong decision in that moment.

Costa, however, seemed unconvinced and directly threw his hands up in response, apparently blaming the defenders in front of him for allowing the opposing striker Vysa to head the ball so easily from close range. After a brief exchange with Diogo Costa, Ronaldo could only walk away in resignation.

This scene sparked a lot of discussion among fans: "Why is the Portuguese team always having internal conflicts?"; "This Portugal team definitely won't go far!"; "As the captain, what's wrong with saying a few words? Costa overreacted a bit—doesn't show respect to the GOAT!"

In this match, Diogo Costa made only one save and received a rating of 6.8. As a 26-year-old goalkeeper who has already made 43 appearances for the national team, Diogo Costa has often been criticized for his handling of high balls.
