This devastating statistic about the Portuguese forward is enough to break any Cristiano fan's heart.
Details: After Portugal's exit to Spain in the World Cup Round of 16, an extremely unpleasant stat about Cristiano Ronaldo has resurfaced.
Across nine World Cup knockout matches, starting from the Round of 16, the Portuguese star has failed to register a single goal or assist.
This list includes games against Spain in 2026, Morocco in 2022, Uruguay in 2018, Spain in 2010, and the Netherlands, England, France, and Germany at the 2006 World Cup.
In the match against Spain, he took three shots, two of which were on target, but Portugal fell 0-1 and crashed out of the tournament.
Reminder: Ronaldo sets bizarre anti-record at World Cups.
