CRISTIANO RONALDO

-

AGE: 37 COUNTRY: PORTUGAL NUMBER OF FIFA WORLD CUPS:

The controvers­ial striker made his world cup debut in 2006 and became captain of Portugal at the age of 22.

With the most caps (191) and most goals (117) in Portuguese soccer history, the Manchester United player will captain his home side once again this year.

Portugal has never won a world cup and with this year being Ronaldo’s last chance, he’ll be eager to give it his all.

The player, who’s won the Ballon d’Or five times, has had some standout performanc­es over the past four world cups, scoring seven goals – but his most memorable was scoring a hat-trick against Spain in the 2018 world cup.
