According to the draw results in the early morning of December 6, Portugal is in Group K with Colombia, newcomer Uzbekistan and the winner of the intercontinental play-off between Jamaica, New Caledonia and the Republic of Congo. As the number one seeded team, Portugal is expected to top the group.

Public opinion believes that this is an easy group for Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates. If they complete the above goal, coach Roberto Martinez and his team will likely meet one of the third-placed teams with good records in the round of 32.

The round of 16 then promises a bigger challenge, with potential opponents being Italy if they qualify for the European play-offs and do well in the group stage.

The most anticipated scenario for fans could happen in the quarter-finals. If Argentina and Portugal both win their group, Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, two icons of world football, will meet each other for the first time at a World Cup.

If they continue to progress, Portugal could face either Brazil or England in the semi-finals, before facing another strong candidate, Spain, in the final.

Along with Messi, Ronaldo will likely be present at his sixth World Cup. Despite turning 41 next summer, the Portuguese superstar is still confident in his form and fitness to contribute to his team.

Ronaldo's masterpiece Cristiano Ronaldo performed a perfect bicycle kick, sealing a 4-1 victory for Al Nassr against Al Khaleej in round 9 of the Saudi Pro League in the early morning of November 24.
