Ronaldo breaks silence after Portugal’s exit

Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, has broken his silence after their elimination from Euro 2024.

France ended Ronaldo’s hopes of winning another trophy at his sixth and last European Championship on Friday night.

There were no goals after 120 minutes and Les Bleus won the ensuing penalty shoot-out.

Ronaldo scored during the shootout, but Joao Felix saw his effort come off the bar.

Ronaldo leaves Euro 2024 having failed to score in open play.

He posted on Instagram: “We wanted more. We deserved more. For us. For each and every one of you. For Portugal.

“We are grateful for all that you have given us and all that we have accomplished so far.

“On and off the field, I’m sure this legacy will be honoured and continue to be built. Together.”

Cristiano Ronaldo has shared a cryptic message on Instagram just two days after Portugal’s elimination from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The 37-year-old started the match on the bench after a fallout with national boss Fernando Santos, before being introduced in the second half mid-way through their loss to Morocco.

Despite the late introduction, Ronaldo couldn’t rescue his nation.

The superstar has now revealed his ‘three aspects of reality’ in a post on Monday night.

The former Manchester United star shared a picture on Instagram that detailed his ‘three aspects of reality’ as ‘pain, uncertainty and constant work’.

Just one day before, Ronaldo broke his silence after their elimination and penned a long message to his followers on the same platform where he spoke of his allegiance to Portugal.
