Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu has moved to support Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese great was floored after being eliminated from the World Cup by Morocco.
Many are now saying Ronaldo has played his last game for his country.
But Calhanoglu provided some support to Ronaldo and explained why he deserves respect.
He posted to social media: “Nothing will change the fact that Cristiano is one of the greatest athletes in history. He should always be respected. Being at the top for 16-17 years requires a lot of sacrifices."
