🌎 International Awards: Ronaldo's shiner, French woes and R9 vibes | OneFootball

It was the final international break ahead of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, and it did not disappoint.

Let’s take a look back at what you may have missed.

The That’s a Shiner award

Cristiano Ronaldo got one hell of a bounce to the nose during Portugal’s game with Czech Republic on Saturday after colliding with the goalkeeper.

The Not in the Best Form Award

France’s competitive record in 2022 makes for grim reading.

The top of the league award

Scotland win back-to-back fixtures and are now one game away from Nations League promotion. What a week.

The R9 award

It’s no secret Brazil possess a ludicrous array of attacking talent and picking those that will make the trip to Qatar won’t be easy for Tite.

Spurs forward Richarlison, with the number 9 on his back, certainly made a case for himself with a brace against Ghana.

The relegation award

Three matches without a goal, five games without a win and relegated to League B in the Nations League.

The breached fortress award

Marco Asensio’s 10th assist in 22 appearances wasn’t enough for Luis Enrique’s side who slumped to their first defeat on home soil since 2018 as Spain’s struggles in the Nations League continue.

The inevitable award

Erling Haaland has been involved in every goal Norway have scored in the 2022/23 Nations League (six goals and one assist).

Every. Single. Goal.

The ever-present award

The Bologna forward leads the Serie A goal-scoring charts and now holds the record for most caps for Austria, what a season so far.

The best of the rest award

Only Haaland has more goals than Aleksander Mitrović in both the Nations League and the Premier League this season.
