The Portuguese attacker left the field crying after saying goodbye to the last World Cup of his career
Morocco gave one of the clocks in the World Cup in Qatar so far after leaving the other remaining Iberian team, Portugal. With a lone goal, it was enough to leave out the men of Fernando Santos, whose future is not at all clear after this hard blow and who played the main role due to his direct confrontation with the one who was the leader and captain of the team. until now.
And it is that Cristiano Ronaldo will not return to a World Cup event. The Portuguese striker came on as a substitute, but he couldn’t make up for the epic and was left without scoring to at least tie the game and force an extra time where anything could have happened.
The image of the best player in Portugal’s history (with the permission of Eusebio) leaving the dressing room crying is a good example of the pain he feels for a career in a tailspin.
The departure of Cristiano Ronaldo from Qatar also marks the end of an era for Portugal, which is now forced into a generational renewal in which Joao Félix or Gonçalo Ramos, one of the great discoveries of this World Cup, must take a step forward.
Cristiano leaves with seven goals in the World Cups, one of Eusebio’s eight, and with the feeling that his last participation in a national team tournament of this level was rather gray. His substitution in the last two games for the Portuguese team is a symptom of a career that little by little, and very much against his intentions, is reaching its final straight.
