and handed the 27-year-old 4/10 ratings, with both claiming that even an hour was too long for Roberto Martinez to leave him on the pitch.
“Without any spark and without the ability to set the Scotland area alight. He came off shortly after the hour mark to make way for Rafael Leão and the impression is that it was too late,” A Bola remarked.
Robertson though fared much better among the Scottish media. The left-back once again donned the captain’s armband, and played a crucial role in ensuring his country claimed their first point in the Nations League this year.
Handing him an 8/10 rating, the said of Robertson: “The skipper stood up a brilliant cross for McTominay early on in what was an outstanding piece of vision that should have resulted in a goal. Bravely put his body on the line to lift the pressure on he and his teammates after a sustained period of pressure from the visitors as they settled in Glasgow. Linked well with Doak.”
Meanwhile, awarded the 30-year-old a 7/10, remarking: “His crossing was excellent all night. Unlucky not to get an assist when his left-wing cross was met by the head of Scott McTominay after five minutes. Gave away a poor pass early in the second half that almost saw Ronaldo opening the scoring, though.”
Both Jota and Robertson will now return to Liverpool ahead of the Reds’ return to Premier League action this weekend. Arne Slot’s side faces Chelsea at Anfield on Sunday as they aim to maintain their position at the top of the table.
