It’s now or likely never for Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal.
Portugal’s recent runs in the World Cup have been disappointing to say the least. The team finished in the Round of 16 after an electrifying group stage from Ronaldo and failed to get out of the group round in 2014.
Portugal has never finished better than third, and that hasn’t happened since its first appearance in 1966. Portugal was 7-2-1 in the World Cup qualifiers and only made the Round of 16 in the UEFA Euro.
With the drama swirling around Ronaldo at Manchester United, the question will be whether he can overcome and give Portugal the lift it's been waiting for.
