Cristiano Ronaldo took centre stage in Qatar for Portugal's opening group stage game against Ghana and in doing so, joined a select few to play in five World Cups. While that was one of the focuses, the main one heading into the clash was the situation surrounding the forward leading up to the tournament.
Ronaldo's infamous outburst to Piers Morgan in an exclusive interview saw him call out Manchester United, leading to a mutual termination of his contract at the club. With the 37-year-old now a free agent, he can show exactly what he is capable of before deciding his future on the club stage.
Chelsea are one of the sides linked with a potential switch for the Portugal international in the coming weeks, with the stage set to offer a chance to show his best attributes after missing out on a move to land him in the summer. It's led to Graeme Souness believing Ronaldo will pull out his best performances during the World Cup.
