Former England right-back Gary Neville has admitted that it was 'horrible' to see former Manchester United teammate Cristiano Ronaldo break down in tears after Portugal's World Cup exit on Saturday.
After blitzing past Switzerland in the last-16, winning 6-1, the 2016 European Champions exited the competition at the quarter-final stage, suffering a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of Morocco. Striker Youssef En-Nesyri netted the only goal of the game, planting a first-half header to set up a semi-final showdown with France.
Portugal threw everything at Morocco in the second half in the hope of getting back into the contest, so much so that manager Fernando Santos turned to his bench and brought on Ronaldo, who was once again left on the bench, with Goncalo Ramos preferred up front. Centre-back Pepe went the closest to forcing the game to extra-time, sending a late header just wide.
