'Dream ended': Cristiano Ronaldo on not winning FIFA World Cup

After Morocco defeated Portugal 1-0 in the quarter-finals to shatter Cristiano Ronaldo's dream of winning the FIFA World Cup, the 37-year-old took to his Instagram handle and expressed his disappointment via a long post. His post read, "Winning a World Cup for Portugal was the biggest and most ambitious dream of my career. Fortunately, I won many titles with Portugal, but putting our country's name on the highest foot in the World was my biggest dream."

"I fought for it. I fought hard for this dream. In the 5 appearances, I scored in World Cups over 16 years, always by the side of great players and supported by millions of Portuguese. I gave my all. Left it all out on the field. I never turned my face to the fight and I never gave up on that dream. Sadly yesterday the dream ended," read Ronaldo's emotional post. He concluded his post by writing that the 'dream was nice while it lasted.'
