Struggles in opener
Ronaldo recorded three shots (zero on goal) in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus The Democratic Republic of The Congo.
Analysis: Ronaldo didn't get off to a strong start at the World Cup. He failed to put a shot on goal and didn't look dangerous during the limited chances he got on the ball. The legendary striker struggled throughout the match and in the end was left with a disappointing draw. Ronaldo will continue to lead the line for the rest of the World Cup, barring a surprise shake up in the starting XI.
Strong end to season
Ronaldo returned from a hamstring injury in April and scored eight goals over his last 12 club contests of the 2025/26 campaign.
Analysis: Ronaldo is on track to lead Portugal's front line and play his sixth career World Cup after finishing the season as the third-highest scorer in the Saudi Pro League with 28 goals across 30 appearances. The veteran attacker recovered from a minor muscle issue which limited his involvement in the early stages of the year. He has otherwise played his usual role as a reliable finisher for both club and country, staying in good shape to get minutes at the international level.
