After starting on the bench, Cristiano Ronaldo couldn’t help Portugal come back, falling to Morocco in the World Cup quarterfinals. Ronaldo walked off the field in tears in what was likely his last appearance at soccer’s biggest tournament.
After being on the bench at the start for the second straight match, Ronaldo couldn’t help Portugal come back against Morocco, losing 1-0 in the quarterfinals on Saturday.Ronaldo came on as a substitute early in the second half with his team already losing. He replaced midfielder Rúben Neves in the 51st minute for his 196th international men’s appearance, the most of all time along with Kuwait forward Badr Al-Mutawa.
Ronaldo walked off the field after the final whistle and started crying by the time he entered the tunnel into the locker rooms. Gonçalo Ramos, who scored a hat trick on Tuesday in Portugal’s 6-1 win over Switzerland in his first start for Portugal, was again selected ahead of Ronaldo. Santos later said Ronaldo was “not happy” to be told he was being benched, but never threatened to leave the World Cup because of the decision.
