“You can’t underestimate the best player in the world, its most powerful weapon. Much less should one stand up for those who don’t deserve it.
“Life gives us lessons. Today we don’t lose, we learn. We admire you.”
Ronaldo’s ser, Katia Aveiro, also posted the image with the caption: “This is what breaks my heart.
“In the end it’s about ours… About mine… And about the pride I have in him and the story he wrote.
“With glory, much glory, we’re together my brother, until death.
Ronaldo’s other ser, Elma, wrote: “Waiting for the l of those guilty for this defeat… The smart commentators from Portugal (oops they’re gone), they must be worried about losing their jobs, it’s hard to say.
“Sad… but you won’t carry that guilt. Sad for the team, now to lift your head high and move on… God knows all things.”
Criano Ronaldo was in tears after Portugal’s loss against Morocco.
It was likely the last World Cup match for the 37-year-old Ronaldo, and probably his last chance to win soccer’s biggest prize.
When it mattered most, he couldn’t conjure up the kind of soccer magic that has made him one of the greatest players the sport has ever seen.
Ronaldo was dropped from the starting lineup for the second straight match on Saturday. The five-time player of the year came on as a substitute in the second half with his team already trailing, but his one real chance was saved easily the opposing goalkeeper.
Ronaldo, the all-time leading scorer in men’s international soccer with 118 goals, did not say anything about his future after the match, going straight to the team bus from the locker room.
