“Winning the World Cup was my biggest dream”

Doha: Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo reacted for the first time after losing to Morocco in the World Cup quarter-finals. In a post shared on social media, Cristiano said that winning the World Cup for Portugal was the biggest dream of his career and he fought hard for that dream.

“Winning a World Cup for Portugal was the biggest and dearest dream of my career. Luckily I was able to win many titles internationally, also for Portugal. But it was my biggest dream to carry the name of our country at the highest level in the world. I fought for this. I fought hard for this dream. I scored in five World Cups in 16 years. Always with the best players, with the support of millions of Portuguese, I gave my best. I’ve never turned my back on a fight I’ve never given up on that dream.

Unfortunately the dream ended yesterday. A lot has been said, a lot has been written, a lot has been speculated, but I want everyone to know that my sincerity towards Portugal hasn’t changed for a second. I was also someone who fought for everyone’s cause and would never turn my back on my teammates and my country.

Now, nothing more to say. Thank you, Portugal. Thanks Qatar. It was nice while the dream lasted… Now is the time to be a good mentor and let everyone come to their own conclusions’ – added Cristiano.
