Before Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal qualified in ONLY THREE World Cups in their entire history. With Cristiano Ronaldo, they've made 6/6 World Cups & never missed an major International Tournament - winning 3 trophies in the process (they had 0 before). In the end, on his last legs - at 41 yo, he gets an arrogant team around him that plays the worst football you can imagine. Cristiano put Portugal on the map, Cristiano made Portugal to be considered amongst the best, and yet he was repaid in this way on his last dance. History will be kind to you Cristiano. As you said, with or without this match you remain Cristiano. And certainly, life without you will not be the best for Portugal. Then they will wish they had someone like Cristiano, but it will be too late - Cristiano won't be there anymore. Thank you for everything. GOAT! 🐐
