After being defeated by Serbia in the fight for a direct place in the World Cup, many wrote off Portugal and announced the World Cup without the former European champion.
However, the barrage was another way to obtain visas for Qatar, and the Portuguese did. This time, Cristiano Ronaldo was not in the lead role, but he certainly came up with a new figure that thickens his name in the history of football.
Namely, the great Portuguese will play in his fifth World Cup in a row. Many football players cannot claim such a feat.In addition to Cristiano Ronaldo, Leo Messi from Argentina will play in the World Cup for the fifth time, and earlier, Mexicans Antonio Carbahal and Rafa Marquez, German Lothar Matheus, and Italian Gianluigi Buffon succeeded in that feat.
But let’s go back to this amazing Portuguese and one of the best players today.
The first World Cup in which Cristiano Ronaldo played was the one in 2006 in Germany. After that, he wore the Portuguese jersey in 2010 in South Africa, in 2014 in Brazil, in 2018 in Russia, and now in 2022 in Qatar.
Knowing him, he will not stop there, because he has a great opportunity to set a new personal record. If he happens to score a goal, which is quite realistic, the Manchester United player will become the first player to score in five different World Cups.
That’s what is expected of him, isn’t it?
