New Delhi: Portuguese Captain Cristiano Ronaldo was heavily disappointed after Portugal’s exit from the FIFA World Cup 2022 following the loss to Morocco in the Quarter-Final. The 37-year-old took to Instagram to share a cryptic post in which he revealed insight into three aspects of reality, "pain, uncertainty, and constant work". Ronaldo was dropped for Portugal's two knockout games by Fernando Santos.  There has been no news about his future after his contract was terminated by Manchester United.

Cristiano Ronaldo broke down in tears as he made his way down the tunnel after Portugal's quarterfinal FIFA World Cup loss to Morocco on Saturday. Morocco scripted history on Saturday by becoming the first African nation to qualify for the last four of the World Cup after defeating Portugal 1-0 in the quarterfinal.

Ronaldo's chance to win a World Cup title at the FIFA World Cup 2022 may have been his last, and he will have to leave empty-handed after Portugal's elimination from the competition. The disappointment of missing out on a World Cup title was evident when Ronaldo was seen in tears after the final whistle was blown, he walked back to the tunnel in tears.

The African nation staged a massive upset to knock Portugal out of the World Cup as they held onto their one-goal lead at halftime to book a maiden slot in the FIFA World Cup semifinals. A resilient Morocco found the back of the net through Youssef El-Nesyri in the 42nd minute.

The forward went airborne and headed the cross from Attiyat Allah to give his side the advantage which proved fatal for Portugal.
Morocco bettered their record against Portugal after the win having won two of their three matches. The loss for Portugal will be very disappointing for Ronaldo who has probably played his last World Cup given his age.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who came on as a second-half substitute, was unable to make a difference. The forward left the pitch in tears with his World Cup dream ending in this edition. Morocco overcame expectations and challenges to reach the semi-finals, defeating Croatia, Belgium, Spain, and now Portugal. The Atlas Lions are now two steps away from glory. Portugal went all out but Morocco overcame tiredness, injury, and nervousness in the knockout game to earn a remarkable victory. The team held the European side for a memorable win.
