Five times Ballon D’or winner, Cristiano Ronaldo, says he has failed his biggest dream of winning the world cup for his country as Portugal was sent out of the world cup following a 1-0 loss to Morocco.
Morocco beat Portugal 1-0 in the quarter-final stage of the 2022 World Cup.
This loss to Morocco has put an end to Ronaldo’s dream of winning the World Cup as he is reportedly set to retire from professional football, soon.
In a post shared on Social Media on Sunday, the footballer expressed his disappointment in not fulfilling his dream but he reassures his commitment to his country.
He wrote, “I fought for it. I fought hard for this dream. In the five appearances, I scored in World Cups over 16 years, always by the side of great players and supported by millions of Portuguese, I gave my all. Leave it all out on the field. I never turned my face to the fight and I never gave up on that dream.

“Sadly, yesterday the dream ended. It’s not worth reacting to heat(Sic). I just want you all to know that much has been said, much has been written, and much has been speculated, but my dedication to Portugal has not changed not for a moment. I was always fighting for the objective of all and would never turn my back on my colleagues and my country.
“Not much more to say for now. Thank you, Portugal. Thank you, Qatar. The dream was nice while it lasted… Now, it’s hoping that the weather will be a good advisor and allow each one to draw their conclusions.”
