Ronaldo spoke up: It was nice while it lasted, I never ran away from a fight

The players of Portugal lost to Morocco yesterday (1:0) and ended their appearance at the World Cup in the quarter-finals.

And the day after the elimination, Cristiano Ronaldo spoke, who after the meeting with the African selection went to the dressing room in tears. Against Morocco, as well as against Switzerland, Ronaldo started the match from the bench, and then continued to get opportunities.

"Winning the World Cup with Portugal was my biggest and most ambitious plan in my career. I was lucky enough to win many titles at international level, including the trophy with Portugal, but my biggest dream was to lead my country to the top of the world. I fought hard for that dream. I participated in the World Cup five times, always side by side with great teammates and with the support of millions of fans. I gave it my all. I never ran away from a fight and I never gave up on that dream. I want everyone to know that my dedication to the Portuguese national team has not changed for a single moment, despite everything that was said, written, speculated..." said Ronaldo.

The World Cup in Qatar is probably the last for the Portuguese footballer.

"I don't have much to say right now. Thank you Portugal. Thanks to Katar too – it was nice while it lasted. Now we can hope that time will give us good advice and allow everyone to draw their own conclusions," Ronaldo said.
