🎙️ لقد كان هناك عِناق جميل ومؤثر للغاية مع كريستيانو رونالدو قبل المباراة. لقد اقترب من موقعك وتبادلتما عِناقاً صادقاً ومؤثراً للغاية، أليس كذلك؟
🚨🗣️ لويس دي لا فوينتي (مدرب منتخب إسبانيا):
نعم، في الواقع.. لقد تحدثنا في بعض المناسبات، والحقيقة هي أنني أعلنت نفسي معجباً كبيراً به.
أنا معجب بقيمه، وبما يمثله، وبكيفية عيشه لحياته، وطريقة تعامله مع الرياضة.
بالنسبة لي، أعتقد أنه مثال رائع للشباب، وأؤكد أيضاً أنه مثال حتى لمن هم ليسوا بالشباب.
لذا، عندما تتاح لنا الفرصة لنكون معاً، فإننا نتبادل مشاعر الإعجاب المتبادل.
وبالنسبة لي بالطبع، فإنه لفخر كبير أن تتاح لي فرصة معرفته، وهو أمر رائع حقاً.
Cristiano Dos Santos Aveiro Ronaldo,
If today is the last time I watch you play a World Cup match, then thank you.
Thank you for every memory. Thank you for every goal. Thank you for every celebration. Thank you for making millions of us fall in love with football all over again.
I grew up watching you carry the hopes of an entire nation every four years. Every time Portugal walked onto a World Cup pitch, it felt different because Cristiano Ronaldo was there. You gave us belief. Even when the odds were against you, we always felt like something magical could happen because you were wearing that No. 7 shirt.
For over two decades, you’ve been more than just a footballer. You’ve been a symbol of ambition. A reminder that where you come from doesn’t define where you can go. A boy from Madeira dreamed of becoming the greatest footballer in the world, and somehow, through relentless sacrifice and an obsession with improving every single day, he made that dream a reality.
People will always remember the goals, but I’ll remember the journey even more.
The tears after defeats because you cared so much. The celebrations after victories because every trophy still meant everything to you. The nights you carried your country. The moments when people doubted you, only for you to answer in the only way you ever knew, with football.
You taught an entire generation that talent alone is never enough. That greatness belongs to those who are willing to outwork everyone else. Countless young footballers started training harder because of you. Countless athletes in other sports looked at your discipline and realized what true professionalism looked like.
Football has given us many legends, but I don’t think we’ve ever seen someone squeeze every single drop out of his talent the way you did. You reinvented yourself time after time. From an explosive winger who terrorized defenders, to the most complete goalscorer football has ever seen. Left foot, right foot, headers, free kicks, long-range strikes, tap-ins, volleys, it didn’t matter. You mastered every way possible to score.
Some people will only remember the trophies. Others will only remember the statistics. But those of us who watched your journey know that your greatest achievement wasn’t a Ballon d’Or or a Champions League title or a World Cup.
It was inspiring an entire generation to believe that impossible is just another challenge waiting to be conquered.
The World Cup may not have given you the fairytale ending every football fan dreamed of, but it can never define your greatness. One competition could never contain a career this extraordinary. Your legacy was never dependent on lifting one trophy, because long before today, you had already become immortal in the history of this sport.
Years from now, children who never had the privilege of watching you live will still hear your name. They’ll watch your goals on YouTube. They’ll study your mentality. Coaches will use your career as an example of discipline. Athletes from every sport will point to Cristiano Ronaldo as proof that talent, when matched with relentless work ethic, can achieve the extraordinary.
Football moves on. New stars will emerge. New records will be set. New champions will lift the World Cup.
But there will never be another Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro.
If today is the final page of your World Cup story, then know this, you didn’t just play in this tournament. You defined an era. You gave us moments we’ll tell our children about. You gave us reasons to celebrate, to dream, to believe.
Thank you for every sprint. Every goal. Every comeback. Every impossible header. Every unforgettable night.
Thank you for never cheating the game.
Thank you for showing us what obsession with greatness looks like.
And above all, thank you for leaving football far greater than you found it.
Obrigado, Cristiano.
Forever one of the greatest to ever touch a football.
Forever our No. 7. 🐐🇵🇹❤️
I Love you Man.
Ronaldo: "O maior título que ganhei pela seleção foi 2016, que para mim tem a mesma dimensão do Mundial, sinceramente, por isso..."
Amanhã levanto-me como me levantei hoje... de consciência tranquila.
Dei o meu melhor, ganhei 3 títulos por Portugal. Portugal não tinha ganho nenhum título antes de Cristiano"
O que me deixa triste é ver estrangeiros a chorarem e a sofrerem pelo Ronaldo, enquanto muitos portugueses o insultam e desrespeitam. Criticar é uma coisa; cuspir na história de quem levou Portugal ao topo do mundo é outra. São esses portugueses que envergonham Portugal.
Fim. É um orgulho seres Português.
Um ídolo de uma vida. Infelizmente não acabou como queríamos.
Obrigado por tudo, Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro. ❤️
Um não assunto. Jogo na parte decisiva, tinha marcado 1 grande golo anulado por pouco, marcou o do empate, queria ficar em campo para ajudar. Estranho seria se não sentisse. Não gostou mas passado 5 segundos estava a dar força ao seu colega que ia entrar.
Aos 90+4' estava abraçado ao companheiro de posição Gonçalo Ramos com um sorriso gigante. Nos últimos segundos desesperava pelo apito final. Não criem teorias da conspiração, já basta a nossa CS.
Je n’oublierai jamais comment en 2022 vous l’avez assassiné médiatiquement alors qu’il venait de perdre un enfant et qu’il était dans la pire phase de sa carrière.
17 years ago today, the world lost the legendary King of Pop, Michael Jackson, at the age of 50.
One of the most influential entertainers of all time, his legacy continues to inspire generations of musicians, filmmakers, animators, and storytellers around the world. 🕊️
