The Portuguese champion, crowned with five titles in Champions League, here it comes in Saudi Arabia against the background of a disappointing participation in the World Cup in Qatar and an unfriendly detachment from Manchester United, who decided to abandon him due to public criticism made of him and his Dutch coach, Eric ten Hag. It seemed clear at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, which ended on the 18th of this month, with Argentine rival Lionel Messi taking the title, that Ronaldo entered the latest era of his triumphant career after being content to sit in bench in the eighth and quarterfinals of his fifth participation in the world finals. The Qatar World Cup was disappointing for Ronaldo in all respects, even though he scored the first goal for his team against Ghana from a penalty kick, making him the first player in World Cup history to score a goal in five different versions. And after being content to sit down in bench in the landslide victory over Switzerland (6-1) in the final price, entered the second half of match of the quarterfinals against Morocco (0-1), without offering anything significant, squandering his celebration of playing 196 international matches, equaling the record registered in the name of Kuwaiti Bader Al-Mutawa. Ronaldo entered the Qatar finals in distorted way in largely due to what he had said about Manchester United and its manager Ten Hag, which resulted in his services being abandoned. The World Cup in Qatar confirmed, without a doubt, that Ronaldo’s position, even in the ranks of his country’s national team, was not the same as before, and his 196 matches, or even his 118 goals (a record), did not intercede for him, bid farewell to Al-Thumama stadium in tears, realizing that the last chance to embrace global glory had flown by. .
