Cristiano Ronaldo has scored the most goals in Champions League history, and the most international goals. He has won five Ballon d’Or trophies and 35 major trophies in over 1,300 senior appearances across 24 years. To say he is one of modern football’s superstars can sound like understatement.
He has not won the World Cup.
Should that matter? If Portugal fail to claim the trophy for the first time this summer, then Ronaldo will join some of the greatest players of all time. Alfredo Di Stefano did not win the World Cup. Nor did Johan Cruyff or Paolo Maldini.
