Christano Rolando has gushed out that UEFA tournament is far bigger and valuable to win than this world cup.
CR7 as he is widely known stated this when his country crashed out of the ongoing world cup.
With the crashing out of Portugal it could mean Ronaldo retiring from World Cup play with what is tied for the ninth-best goal-scoring record of all time isn’t exactly shameful stuff, especially for someone who is likely between about the fifth- and 10th-best men’s player ever. And he distributed those 11 goals well enough to eventually become the first person to score in six editions.
Considering his other honors, though — over 800 club goals, nearly 150 international goals, five Ballon d’Ors, five Champions League titlus Euro 2016 and two Nations League titles — the World Cup ends up being a blind spot on his résumé, a missed opportunity to rank even higher on that theoretical all-time list.
After providing major attacking energy for the Portugal team that finished fourth at the 2006 World Cup, Ronaldo’s relationship with the world’s most popular tournament was rather fraught. Even as Portugal won big in other competitions, they won only one more knockout match — last week against Croatia in the brand-new round of 32 — and the winning goal came with Ronaldo on the bench. His last match was a meek attacking performance and a 1-0 loss to Spain on Monday.
