After the match against Croatia, Cristiano stated that winning a Euro Cup was equivalent to winning a World Cup: "Winning a Euro Cup for Portugal is equivalent to winning a World Cup. I have already won two trophies for Portugal (Euro 2016 and Nations League), something that really I wanted to. That doesn't motivate me. What motivates me is enjoying football," confessed the Portugal star.

It is not the first time that a figure has said this, even Kylian Mbappe at the time revealed that the Euro Cup was more difficult than playing in a World Cup: "I have always felt the same way, it is a really very complicated competition (the Euro Cup). For me, it is more complicated than a World Cup, even despite the pressure that exists in a World Cup," confessed the Real Madrid player.

This is the debate that has been generated in recent months, because many say that the World Cup is a competition for European teams to which Brazil and Argentine are added. On the other hand, there are fans who make fun of Europe and say that in South America there are no teams like San Marino (they recently achieved their first official victory in their history).

There are too many world champions out there to say that the World Cup is the most difficult, there are the best, all the world champions, generally, everyone wants to be world champion for a reason." .
