Cristiano Ronaldo has finally spoken up after Portugal’s surprise exit from the World Cup at the hands of minnows, Morocco.
En-Nesyri’s magnificent first-half header was enough to upset Portugal and bring to an end Ronaldo’s hopes for a World Cup.
And so bitter was the former Madrid man that he took to Instagram to express his disappointment.
“Winning a World Cup for Portugal was the biggest and most ambitious dream of my career. Fortunately I won many titles of international dimension, including Portugal, but putting our country’s name on the highest foot in the World was my biggest dream.
“I fought for it. I fought hard for this dream. In the 5 appearances I scored in World Cups over 16 years, always by the side of great players and supported by millions of Portuguese, I gave my all. Leave it all out on the field.
“I never turned my face to the fight and I never gave up on that dream. sadly yesterday the dream ended It’s not worth reacting to heat. I just want you all to know that much has been said, much has been written, much has been speculated, but my dedication to Portugal has not changed not for a moment.
“I was always one fighting for the objective of all and I would never turn my back on my colleagues and my country. Not much more to say for now. Thank you Portugal. Thank you Qatar The dream was nice while it lasted… Now, it’s hoping that the weather will be good advisor and allow each one to draw their own conclusions,” said Ronaldo on Instagram.
