📸 For the last time; Cristiano Ronaldo in tears after final World Cup match 😪 Cristiano Ronaldo's dreams of ending his career with a stunning World Cup win are over after Mikel Merino's late goal saw Spain progress past Portugal. Understandably, the iconic number seven could not hold back his emotions.  The Arsenal midfielder struck in the first minute of added time to finally break the deadlock of an extremely tight and tense clash between the Iberian neighbours.  Ronaldo tried to rally his teammates with time still to go but the EURO 2024 champions held firm, knocking out the 41-year-old and his incredibly talented cast of teammates. The five-time Ballon d'Or and Champions League winner announced yesterday this World Cup would be his last. And with him set to be 45 when Portugal co-host the 2030 tournament with Spain and Morocco, this is all but certainly the end of his journey on the grandest stage. The tears that flowed reflected that and 20 years and six tournaments of effort.  Regardless of what happens next, the all-time leading scorer in both international football and the Champions League will go down as one of the greatest to ever lace a pair of boots.
