He said before the match, there can be no World Cup without Portugal. The fight for survival, except for Harley. How much self-confidence can be said in advance!
Cristiano Ronaldo kept his word. After securing the World Cup with a 2-0 win over North Macedonia in the play-off final on Tuesday, the Portuguese prince said they deserved the place.
The age is 36. But Ronaldo seems to be still very young. If all goes well, he will play his fifth World Cup next November. If he had been dropped, he might not have been seen on such a big stage.
Ronaldo is so surrounded by the joy of receiving. The Portugal captain expressed his excitement with a photo with the team on social media Instagram.
“The goal has been achieved, we are now in the World Cup in Qatar,” Ronaldo wrote. We are in the right place! Gratitude to all the Portuguese for their tireless support. Go ahead Portugal! ‘
With this, Portugal qualified for the World Cup for the sixth time in a row. Their best achievement came in the 2006 World Cup. They were fourth in the service, which was Ronaldo’s first World Cup.
Ronaldo has played a total of 16 matches in the World Cup. He has scored 6 goals. All four of which came in the last World Cup (in 2016). The five-time Ballon d’Or winner scored a hat-trick against Spain in the group stage.
