A heartbreaking Cristiano Ronaldo video

Ex-NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III shared a video featuring Cristiano Ronaldo after Morocco sent them packing from the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. In the video, the Portuguese legend can be seen crying while walking down the tunnel after the game. This was probably Ronaldo’s last World Cup appearance. And it is the only trophy that has been elusive to one of the greatest soccer players of all time. While sharing the video, the former Cleveland Browns QB called it “heartbreaking”.

Morocco defeated Portugal 1-0, becoming the first African country to reach the last four stage of a FIFA World Cup tournament. Portugal were the favorite going into the game, but the Moroccans extended their dream run. The victims of their run include 2010 champions Spain and stalwarts Belgium. The minnows will take on defending champions France for a place in the summit clash.

The NFL fans reacted to the video posted by Robert Griffin III. And the opinions were very much from both extremes of the spectrum. While some fans celebrated the greatness of Cristiano Ronaldo, others gave Morocco a pat on the back for their performance. Here are some reactions to the video.

Ronaldo, along with Lionel Messi of Argentina, has dominated world soccer for the better part of two decades. But his ultimate dream, to win the World Cup with his country, remains elusive. Is it time to say farewell to the soccer GOAT?
