Qatar 2022: All FIFA World Cups Cristiano Ronaldo has participated in

The history of Portuguese soccer can be clearly divided into two eras: that of the legendary Eusebio Ferreira, who led Benfica to win its last European Cup (Champions League) and his National Team to third place in the World Cup; and that of Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, who will attend Qatar 2022 with the awareness that it could be his last chance to achieve what he has not been able to achieve previously in this tournament.

The Madeira-born player is undoubtedly the best Portuguese in terms of club achievements thanks to his 5 Champions League titles and the rest of the countless titles he has won. However, at the National Team level, he still has some unfinished business to settle, especially at the FIFA World Cup, in order to definitively dethrone Eusebio as the best player ever of his country. (Fair is to say that he has taken Portugal to conquer the 2016 European Cup)

In this way, Cristiano Ronaldo is relying on his goal-scoring power, on the inspiration that his example of always competing at the highest level can inspire, to infect his team and make Qatar 2022 an unforgettable surprise for him and for all of Portugal.

It is a fact that the history of the former Real Madrid star is strongly linked to that of Lionel Messi. Their rivalry has encouraged them to always fight to the maximum to try to be above the other. And that was not only experienced at its peak during their stays at Los Merengues and Barcelona, respectively, but also in the context of the FIFA World Cups.

Cristiano Ronaldo has played the same number of World Cups as Lionel Messi, so far. Although there is an age difference of two years between them, the current Manchester United striker participated for the first time in the great soccer
