CR7 at 37 years old, is a five-time winner of the Ballon d’Or and is still the emblem of the Seleçao. He is by far the most experienced player in the Portuguese offensive sector, in which a generational change is taking place with names like: Rafael Leao (23 years old, AC Milan) and Goncalo Ramos (21 years old, Benfica).
Once again, ready to leave the name of Portugal high!
Despite his lack of minutes this season with Manchester United, where he does not play as much as he would like, CR7 is still an indisputable player for Fernando Santos, who dreams of repeating the success of Euro 2016 in Qatar, in which the Iberians were the champion.
“Once again, ready to leave the name of Portugal high! There are 26 names on the list of the coach, Fernando Santos, but we are all summoned! Força Portugal!” Cristiano Ronaldo shared on his Twitter account with his teammates who will defend the same colours.
