Ronaldo Seeks First WC Goal vs Croatia
Cristiano Ronaldo is experiencing a decline in his performance during the knockout stages of the 2026 World Cup, as he has not scored any goals in this phase despite his extensive experience and numerous achievements. He scored only 10 goals in the group stages, including two against Uzbekistan, and provided one assist in the group phase. In the knockout rounds, he attempted 29 shots without scoring—a figure similar to Roberto Carlos's record since 1966. This is attributed to the lower quality of scoring opportunities he’s received inside the penalty area, which is linked to the level of the opponents Portugal faced. Ronaldo is set to face Croatia in the Round of 32, presenting an opportunity for a personal milestone or to change this performance.
