Cristiano Ronaldo's unwanted World Cup record sparks social backlash

Portugal’s elimination from the FIFA World Cup marked Cristiano Ronaldo’s final act at World Cups, and the forward set an unwanted record by becoming the player with the most matches without scoring – 19 appearances. The tournament also saw him join the list of players with the most losses, eight in total. Social media users immediately zeroed in on CR7, targeting the veteran striker with a wave of criticism. The online focus centred on his lack of goals despite the record number of appearances. Ronaldo extended his own record as the forward with the most matches in World Cup history without finding the net, reaching 19 games. This dubious milestone underscores his longevity but highlights a stark contrast with his earlier prolific years.
