Cristiano Ronaldo has won almost everything there is to win in the world of football, but the one trophy that is missing from his cabinet is the World Cup, and at the age of 36 (almost 37 now) he doesn’t have a lot of time to win it with Portugal.

His last chance to win it is coming around now in 2022, with the World Cup in Qatar later this year. However, Portugal’s campaign started disastrously as they failed to qualify for the competition directly. They know have to qualify via play-offs and might have to beat European champions Italy to reach the hallowed land.
