Master vs Student, the curious story that makes the match between Cristiano's Portugal vs Georgia more than just a game

Cristiano Ronaldo has been at the top level of football for many years, and during his time playing at the highest level, he has been involved in multiple projects that revolve around football. He has helped children develop in football in Portugal, like opening academies, and the Portuguese star will be reuniting with some of the kids that he visited for a special academy that developed international players. Portugal will be playing against Georgia today at the EUROS, and the match will be special for certain Georgian players as they were visited by Ronaldo more than a decade ago. In 2013, Cristiano Ronaldo opened the Dinamo Tbilisi Academy in Georgia. Today, Cristiano will play against 11 players from the Georgia national team who were in the academy, including Napoli star player Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Kvaratskhelia has become one of the best young players in the world, and he is looking to take down Ronaldo and Portugal in order to advance to the knockout stages of the competition.
