Gary Neville has suggested that former Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo 'overachieved' at the World Cup in Qatar - but thinks his ex-teammate will feel differently.
Portugal exited the World Cup at the quarter-finals stage after suffering a surprise defeat to Morocco, with Ronaldo coming off the bench after being named among the substitutes for the crunch match. The 37-year-old started all three group stage matches for Fernando Santos' side, but was dropped for the two knockout games.
His replacement, Goncalo Ramos, scored a hat-trick in the 6-1 victory over Switzerland in the Round of 16, but failed to find the back of the net in the defeat to the African side in the next round. Ronaldo came on for the final 39 minutes, but the veteran frontman was unable to influence the tie and left the field in tears following the full-time whistle.
