Cristiano Ronaldo cries in tunnel after Portugal crash out of World Cup

Former Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo marched down the tunnel in tears after Portugal were knocked out of the World Cup by Morocco at the quarter-finals stage.

Ronaldo was once against named among the substitutes by Fernando Santos, with the 37-year-old having been dropped to the bench for the round-of-16 victory over Switzerland. His manager was unimpressed with his reaction to being substituted in the group stage defeat to South Korea, and opted to drop the player as a result.

His replacement Goncalo Ramos scored a hat-trick in the last round and once again started in attack against Morocco. However, the European side were unable to secure a semi-final spot as they suffered a surprise defeat.
