Cristiano Ronaldo leaves World Cup with dismal statistic

Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo has likely played his last World Cup match.

The veteran and his teammates were dumped out at the quarter final stage, losing to Morocco.

Ronaldo, who played in five World Cups, did not manage a single goal in a knockout stage in his career.

The damning stat emerged after Portugal were eliminated from this year's competition.

Across those eight knockout games in five tournaments, Ronaldo had a total of 27 shots without finding the net for Portugal.

The attacker did post on social media a day after the game, indicating that he gave everything to achieve his dream of winning the World Cup.
