🐐Cristiano Ronaldo, the player who changed a nation | OneFootball

Despite not playing today in the match that sealed Portugal's qualification for the World Cup, there is one fact that is indisputable.

It took him just a few minutes to celebrate Portugal's qualification for the next World Cup, which will be his sixth and last as a player.

Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't be in the match against Armenia due to suspension, but once the ticket to the World Cup was secured, there is a fact that is incredible.

There simply isn't a player in football history who has changed a country's international trajectory like he has.

Since his debut with the Portuguese national team, there hasn't been a World Cup he hasn't attended, and there are already three titles lifted so far.
