Cristiano Ronaldo sheds tears as his likely final quest for a World Cup falls short

This looks like the end of Ronaldo’s World Cup quest.

What may be Cristiano Ronaldo‘s final quest for a World Cup has fallen short.

Morocco took down Portugal in a shocking 1-0 decision on Saturday, sending Ronaldo and his teammates home after yet another failed World Cup attempt.

This year’s World Cup in Qatar was the soccer phenom’s fifth attempt at winning a title with Portugal, having made his debut in 2006.

With him turning 38 in February, Ronaldo might have just played his last World Cup game. For a career that’s decorated in as many accolades as a professional athlete can garner, the World Cup will most likely be Ronaldo’s white whale that swims out to sea.

He was visibly emotional as he exited the pitch in what’s assumed to be his World Cup finale.

While this journey for Ronaldo will fall short, he’s got one of the most prolific careers in the sport to rest his laurels on. Even though the World Cup will remain out of grasp, his legacy is quite secured.
