If Argentina could count on Lionel Messi, Portugal was unfortunately not helped by Cristiano Ronaldo. The Seleçao was eliminated in the quarter-finals by the Moroccan team under the tears of the five-time Ballon d’Or. Portuguese legend, Deco returned to the failure in Qatar. For the Barcelona leader, Portugal needed Lionel Messi to win the World Cup.

“Argentina won the World Cup because they have Messi. For us, Portugal had the best generation of good players, but we don’t have Messi.”said the Portuguese legend.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s achievements with Portugal

If Cristiano Ronaldo could not allow Portugal to win the World Cup, the Al-Nassr player still hoisted the Selecao more than once several times on the roof of Europe.
