Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken out after Portugal was eliminated from the World Cup by Morocco. In what is very certainly going to be his final World Cup campaign, Ronaldo struck an emotional figure as he walked straight down the tunnel in tears after seeing his dream come to an end.
While other teammates, like Pepe and Bruno Fernandes, took aim at the referee and tried to accept the outcome, the 37-year-old remained silent with the press in the mixed zone. However, having been benched for their two knockout games, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has now turned to social media to share his opinion of their World Cup failure.
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.Cristiano Ronaldo on Instagram
“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,” Continued Ronaldo.
“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,” he concluded his heartfelt message to Portuguese fans.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s partner also posted on Instagram after Portugal’s shock exit from 2022 FIFA World Cup
Cristiano wasn’t the only one to post a message on Instagram after Portugal’s elimination. Ronaldo’s girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez wasted no time in criticizing manager Fernando Santos. Her post on social media read: “You shouldn’t give your face for those who don’t deserve it. Today your friend and coach made the wrong decision.”
“That friend for whom you have so many words of admiration and respect. The same one who, when putting you on the field, saw how everything changed, but it was too late. You can’t underestimate the best player of the world, its most powerful weapon. Much less should one stand up for those who don’t deserve it. Life gives us lessons. Today we don’t lose, we learn. We admire you,” she mentioned.
