For him, it is practically impossible to win a World Cup, the Portuguese team during its peak did not manage =CUT=CUT= CR7 is a record breaker.
I understand Cristiano's disappointment, but winning the World Cup has always been a dream. Portugal is not favourites, but we cannot measure success only on trophies. He is a record holder and has won everything with the right support. Good luck for the future!
As we can put it this way, you can't really get all you want in life. He is already a legend in this sports. What more can he ask for in this career? Sure, there will be disappointments, as that is human nature. At the end of the day, it is his self-contentment that matters to live a peaceful life, right?
In my opinion, Ronaldo is looking at Messi's achievements as a point he needs to surpass in order to be number 1. He has already won almost everything, Messi has won everything. And really, when you see a player like Ronaldo who has won everything in Europe, you expect him to also win something on a world level. So not having managed to win the World Cup is a shame for him. And he is right. The worst thing about all this is that Portugal has a good squad, but they can't even reach the final. They lose to very weak teams in the World Cup.
A tree does not make a forest is a very common proverb i believe we all are very well familiar with, in my language, there is also a similar saying that translates to "when a tree stands, another tree will stand beside it, and that is how a forex is formed".
Messi was able to win every award in football including the world cup not because he is the world best, but because he has a team and club members that plays inline with his vision, Argentina won the last world cup not by the effort of Messi alone, but as a result of team understanding themselves and working together.
Ronaldo can achieve what messi have achieved in the coming world cup, if he can get all of his team members to play in accordance with his vision, this is not an easy task unfortunately for him, but I don't think there is any reason for him to be ashamed if by the end of his football career, he is still not able to win the world cup for his country, maybe he can stop looking at Messi's achievements and be grateful for the ones he himself have already achieved.
