Today the Spanish National Team debuted in Sochi against Portugal. It was a bitter end, for a match that promised a favorable result for La Roja . But it could not be. Cristiano Ronaldo has scored a hat-trick that has stunned Spanish players, including his own Real Madrid teammates.
This World Cup has started in a strange way for the National Team. Just 48 hours after his debut , Luis Rubiales, president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, decided to dispense with the services of Julen Lopetegui as coach, after it was unexpectedly known that he would be Real Madrid's next coach.
It is possible that if things go wrong this time, the president will have to take the blame and all the weight of the tweets that will fall like an avalanche. But let's not anticipate ... and let's see all the memes that have been shared today through social networks.

In fact today the madridistas had it quite difficult. His heart was split in two: on the one hand Cristiano Ronaldo, with Portugal; on the other, Ramos, with Spain.

Most likely, not even Tomás Roncero himself will have known what to think and feel tonight.

We will start with one of the tweets that we liked the most, in this case for the previous match. A little historical humor never hurts. On this occasion, with Felipe II as the protagonist. Against whom would Spain and Portugal face?
Arconada, Zubizarreta, De Gea. What a great line of goalkeepers. pic.twitter.com/zNAhDDAOrD

Just before the break, the game had a moment of total tension. After having tied it up in the friendly against Switzerland, David de Gea, the national team's goalkeeper, made another big mistake.

To the tweeters - and to the most football fans, in general - the play has reminded them a lot of Arconada, in the final of Euro 84 or Zubizarreta , who did the same in the 1998 World Cup against Nigeria.

On this occasion, De Gea let the ball escape between his hands and Ronaldo's shot crept in with complete tranquility . It was the second goal for the Portuguese.

But here there have been memes for everyone. For many, Cristiano Ronaldo has been the one who has carried the Portuguese team in tow. And ten players weigh a lot.

Five minutes have been enough for Cristiano Ronaldo to have raised the smoke to his head. And to you, what did you think of this game?
The next match will take place next Wednesday, June 20, Iran will play against Spain. The match will be held from 8:00 p.m. in the afternoon and will be seen on Telecinco. Memes will be insured.
