After the elimination and the tears after the match, Cristiano Ronaldo spoke.
He started the game from the bench again last night, he came in hoping to help the national team, but in the end Morocco was happy.
“Winning the World Cup with Portugal was my biggest wish in my career. I was lucky to win many titles at international level, including a trophy with Portugal, but my dream was to win the World Cup. I did my best. I never ran away from the fight and I never gave up on that dream.”
“I want to say that my commitment to the Portuguese national team was always maximum, regardless of what was written and speculated. I have nothing more to say, thank you Portugal, thank you Qatar, it was nice while it lasted. Now we can hope that time will give us good advice and that everyone will draw a conclusion from this,” said Ronaldo.
This can be considered as an announcement of withdrawal from the national team, for which he played 196 games and scored 118 goals.
