In the early hours of June 18th, Ronaldo and his teammates disappointed by drawing 1-1 with the Democratic Republic of Congo in their opening match of Group K. Trusted by coach Roberto Martinez to start, Ronaldo played the full 90 minutes but failed to make a significant impact in attack.
According to Opta , Ronaldo went through 10 consecutive World Cup and EURO matches without scoring a goal. During that period, he took a total of 33 shots, 11 of which were on target, but still failed to find the back of the net.
Against the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ronaldo not only struggled to score goals, but he also failed to complete a single successful dribble and didn't manage a single shot on target. CR7's total touches throughout the match were only 25, a rather modest number considering Portugal controlled possession for 75%.
For a player once considered one of the greatest goal-scoring machines in football history, these numbers came as a shock to fans. Before the match, CR7 was also under considerable pressure after Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick in Argentina's opening match at the 2026 World Cup.
Many fans hope Ronaldo will soon rediscover his goal-scoring form in the upcoming matches to conclude his final World Cup in a more fulfilling way.
