Cristiano Ronaldo is confident his legacy will not be impacted by his inability to win the World Cup.
Ronaldo and Portugal saw their World Cup dreams go up in smoke as they were beaten 1-0 by Morocco in their quarter-final in Qatar. Ronaldo went straight down the tunnel in tears after missing out on the chance to add the only major honour missing from his glittering CV.
The pain of that disappointment was clearly tough to take for the 37-year-old, who previously admitted this World Cup would be his “last international tournament”. However, on the eve of the competition, Ronaldo stated his confidence that whatever happened in Qatar would not impact his wider legacy.
