Cristiano Ronaldo is an amazing soccer player. He had achieved everything in his career. Well, sort of the only thing he doesn’t have is a FIFA World Cup trophy.

The closest he ever saw his team reach is a fourth place in 2006. 2022 was considered the last world cup of Cristiano Ronaldo, and fans had hoped that we go with glory, and win a world cup for the nation.

Morocco shattered this dream. They defeated Portugal by 1-0 and were the first team from Africa to reach the semifinals. Even Ronaldo was sobbing after the game. Every fan was shedding tears and looking at the king of soccer, helpless and wounded in his last battle for glory.
