On November 4, in an interview with close friend Piers Morgan, Ronaldo shared his thoughts on the importance of the World Cup championship in his career. “For me, winning the World Cup is no longer a dream. Do you want a World Cup to define the best player in history? A tournament with only 6 or 7 matches, do you think that is fair?”, Ronaldo said.

CR7's statement created a huge controversy on social networks. Immediately, netizens "dug up" the Portuguese superstar's comments about the World Cup 5 years ago, showing a clear difference. Specifically, when he was playing for Juventus, Ronaldo once said: "I want to win the World Cup. I have won titles at every club I have been with, but the World Cup is my big dream."

This sudden change of opinion has made Ronaldo the target of satire from the online community. Many people think that CR7 is "self-conscious" after failing with the Portuguese team in recent World Cups, while Lionel Messi, his biggest rival, won the championship with Argentina in 2022.

One account commented: “When you can't have something, the easiest way is to say it doesn't matter anymore." Many other fans believe that Ronaldo is just trying to show composure and focus on the final stage of his career.

In addition to the above sharing, Ronaldo also attracted attention when revealing his plan to marry Georgina Rodriguez after the 2026 World Cup. "She is the woman of my life. She takes care of me and my family, understands me, and that is what I have always been looking for," CR7 said.

Then, the Portuguese superstar concluded by saying: "If we had another championship (World Cup) it would be great."

Ronaldo jumps up and down to celebrate his goal. Striker Cristiano Ronaldo had a funny celebration after scoring a double against Al Fayha in round 7 of the Saudi Pro League in the early morning of November 2.
