Before you step onto that pitch, remember who opened the door for all of you.
Remember the 19-year-old kid who cried after losing the Euro 2004 final. While everyone else walked away, he stayed there heartbroken because wearing the Portugal shirt meant everything to him.
Remember the 2006 World Cup. When Portugal lost to France in the semi-final, Cristiano was in tears again. He felt the weight of the badge more than anyone else.
That young Cristiano is the reason many of you believed a Portuguese player could become the best in the world.
He made an entire generation dream.
He showed every kid in Portugal that they could reach the very top of football.
He put Portugal on the global football map.
For more than twenty years, he has carried this shirt, this badge, and this nation on his shoulders.
He fought every battle.
He played through every disappointment.
He endured every criticism.
He carried the expectations of an entire country.
For years, he fought against what many believed were double standards and unfair treatment, while the spotlight often shone elsewhere. Yet he never stopped fighting for Portugal.
And now…
This could be his final dance on football’s biggest stage.
His last chance to lift the one trophy that would complete one of the greatest international careers the game has ever seen.
So fight for him. Run for him. Leave everything on the pitch for him.
Play for the badge. Play for the shirt. Create chances for him. Give him the support he deserves.
Because if Cristiano still had the legs, speed, and power he had in his prime, he wouldn’t need anyone. He would carry Portugal on his back one more time and finish the job himself.
But this time, it is your turn to fight for him, just as he has fought for Portugal for more than twenty years.

Last tweet on Ronaldo today 😂😂
Portugal win a game: “It’s a team effort, it’s not about Ronaldo, he should not post himself alone.
Portugal lose a game: “Ronaldo is too old, he needs to retire. He’s slowing the team down.”
Look at yourselves. No let agenda finish you 😂😂
To Messi's credit, he makes all the difference. We keep saying they are helping Messi win, but the truth is, he is helping them win. Their job is easier with him in the team.
Ronaldo has carried Portugal for over 20 years through qualifiers and tournaments. I don't have a problem with other players wanting to step up. But they can see how hard it is. At 41, he is still their best goal scorer and they are acting like they can outscore him. If nobody wants to step up, they should get out so serious teams can continue.

Yesterday, Ronaldo drew three defenders to himself inside the box before passing to an open Fernandes.
Fernandes collected the ball at the edge of the area, turned back and send the pass back to the centre defender.
They compared him with KDB 😂
Messi is a great player but never greater than Ronaldo in any world. The only problem with Ronaldo is that he’s the best and never hides his feelings, value himself as a superstar that he is and doesn’t form those humble gimmicks. His superstar Aura annoy his enemy even more.
They are just full of hatred. Ronaldo made me understand greatness comes with its own price of hate. No player past or present in world football is greater than Cristiano Ronaldo, don’t think we will see another one like him in generations to come.
This Portugal team is extremely poor. It will take a miracle for them to win this World Cup. After such an incredible career, it feels like Cristiano Ronaldo has been unlucky to end up with a group of players who simply do not match his ambition and mentality.
It’s a real pity.
