Cristiano Ronaldo speaks after Portugal defeat, message for Klopp

We have our semi-finalists for the 22nd edition of the World Cup. Four teams who, first and foremost, have bounced back from the critics and are now within touching distance of the big game. Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo was left on the sidelines after a surprise narrow defeat to Morocco in a vibrant duel, where the 'Commander' broke down in tears and sent a message to Klopp after the elimination.

Ronaldo, who started for the second consecutive game on the substitutes' bench, saw his team go in at half-time with defeat in the bag. After 50 minutes of suffering, the 'Bicho' came on as a substitute and could do little against the Moroccans' fierce marking. With his future up in the air, Cristiano tried to tire himself out. The eyes of the world and the major clubs watched as Portugal's dream came to an end.

At the age of 37, the European striker closed out his fifth consecutive World Cup. After the final whistle in Doha, Ronaldo must now focus on his professional career, where, according to reports in Qatar, the Portugal captain has made up his mind after Premier League side Manchester United sacked him following a bad relationship with Dutch manager Erik ten Hag, who relegated him to the bench.

Ronaldo has the opportunity to either generate more money and move to a club in the Middle East, or to add to his successful road to individual and team honours. Reports from Portugal reveal that Cristiano would choose a club that constantly has international exposure such as playing in the UEFA Champions League, the preferred tournament of Mr Champions, as CR7 is known.

<strong>Cristiano Ronaldo has no team</strong>

It is well known that Klopp has led the Red's to be in contention in every edition of the Champions League, for our clear example the previous tournament where the 67th edition of the UCL was played in Paris. Now Liverpool have the chance to exact sporting revenge by kicking out reigning champions Real Madrid in February, in what could be Ronaldo's return to the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain.
