Cristiano Ronaldo's dream to win the elusive World Cup title is over. The Portuguese superstar and his national side were eliminated on Saturday (10 December) in the quarter-finals at the FIFA World Cup 2022. Morocco shocked the 2016 European champion 1-0 and became the first African country ever to reach the World Cup semi-finals. And CR7? Have we seen the last big match of the Portugal made the semi-finals of the 2006 World Cup and were hoping to do better this time around but it was not meant to be despite having enough opportunities to score against Morocco's defensive wall Portugal never found their rhythm and flair which they displayed in the round of 16. Portugal hammered Switzerland 6-1, with CR7 starting that game on the bench. He came on in the 73rd minute for Gonçalo Ramos who scored a hattrick. Pepe, Raphaël Guerreiro, and Rafael Leão added a goal each. The Portuguese began their chase for their first ever title with a 3-2 win over Ghana then defeated Uruguay 2-0 confirming their slot in the round of 16, before losing 1-2 to the Republic of Korea in group play.

Fernando Santos insists there is no rift between himself and Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of the World Cup quarterfinal against Morocco. Santos dropped Ronaldo for the last 16 match against Switzerland, with his replacement Goncalo Ramos sensationally scoring a hat-trick in a 6-1 win. "There is no problem with our captain," Santos told his pre-match news conference, a day on from Portugal's national federation releasing a statement to dismiss rumours that Ronaldo was on the verge of leaving the camp. "We've been friends for years. We spoke before the game and he had no issue with my decision. He’s an example." Morocco put paid to the prospects of an Iberian derby by beating Spain on penalties after a 0-0 draw. Walid Regragui's side have kept clean sheets in three of their four games in Qatar. Portugal confirmed lineup vs Morocco (4-3-2-1, right to left): 22. Diogo Costa (GK) — 2. Diogo Dalot, 3. Pepe, 4. Ruben Dias, 5. Raphael Guerriero — 10. Bernardo Silva, 18. Ruben Neves, 25. Otavio — 8. Bruno Fernandes, 11. Joao Felix — 25. Goncalo Ramos. • Injured: Nuno Mendes (thigh), Danilo Pereira (broken ribs) • Suspended: None. Ronaldo is indeed on the bench once again following Ramos' heroics. Rafael Leao again came on to score against Switzerland, but a virtuoso display from Joao Felix means the AC Milan star is amongst the substitutes once more, left to a bench role. Danilo Pereira (broken ribs) was not fit enough to start, while his PSG teammate or Nuno Mendes (th...
