“Winning a World Cup for Portugal was my career’s biggest and most ambitious dream. 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…” and more, Cristiano Ronaldo shared a message to his fans on Instagram.
