The image of a disconsolate Cristiano Ronaldo abandoned the field of the Al Thumama Stadium, after his elimination marks what was his last participation as a player in a World Cup
A goal from Youssef En Nesyri, at minute 42, was what was necessary for the Moroccans to give another bell in the World Cup, from which Cristiano’s World Cup dream was snatched.
The Portuguese star started for the second game in a row on the bench and entered the field after minute 50 but could do little to prevent the fall of the ‘Seleçao’ who dreamed of returning to the Semifinals of a World Cup, which they have not played since Germany 2006.
Morocco thus rose as the first African team to reach the Semifinals of a World Cup, after the duel at the Al Thumama Stadium that had a clear majority of the most western of the Arab World.
