The unexpected player who wants to end Cristiano’s dream in Qatar

Cristiano Ronaldo arrived with the Portugal national football team in Qatar brimming with confidence that progression from the group stage is assured and that has been on track. Cristiano has won it all like his rival, Lionel Messi but only one trophy is missing from their cabinets and that is the FIFA world cup. They are both in Qatar with one goal a piece but with contrasting results.

 Portugal laughed last after a late scare against West African opponent, Ghana while Argentina stumbled to a 1-2 loss to Saudi Arabia, much to the delight of Cristiano's fan and with their man on the score sheet it was a double joy for them. So far, the world cup serves as succor for Cristiano and his millions of followers, after turbulent time under Erik Ten Hag.
