Cristiano Ronaldo fights back tears in first match since Man Utd contract termination

Cristiano Ronaldo appeared to be fighting back the tears as he sang the Portuguese national anthem before a World Cup match against Ghana.

The 37-year-old forward has been in the news a lot in the past few weeks due to his prolonged falling out with Manchester United. The club announced on Tuesday that they had decided to release the forward from his contract seven months early, following an interview with Piers Morgan in which he said he felt "betrayed" by the club.

Ronaldo is now a free agent and, while he's been distracted by club things, he is also focused on Portugal's World Cup campaign. That gets underway against Ghana at Stadium 974 in Doha on Thursday afternoon.
