Thierry Henry changed his opinion about Ronaldo.

VHO - Following the mixed opinions about Cristiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry believes the 41-year-old striker still plays a crucial role in the way the Portuguese national team operates.

Ronaldo did not score in Portugal's 1-1 draw against Congo in their opening match of the 2026 World Cup. After the match, he became a topic of discussion as he repeatedly expressed his frustration at missed opportunities.

Henry changes his tune after criticizing Ronaldo.

Earlier, Henry suggested that Ronaldo was too focused on scoring goals and emphasized that the team needed goals more than individual goals. The former French striker's comments came after Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick to help Argentina win against Algeria.

However, when appearing on Fox Sports the following day, Henry offered a different perspective on the Portuguese captain.
