FIFA gives Cristiano Ronaldo a message with En-Nesyri!
The tension between Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently said 'It's not my dream' for the World Cup, and FIFA drew attention. This tension was also reflected in the posts. FIFA referred to Ronaldo with Fenerbahce and Morocco star Youssef En-Nesyri. Here are the details...
Cristiano Ronaldo, who continues his career at Al-Nassr, made some remarkable statements about the World Cup in a program he attended. The Portuguese star, who expressed his desire to win the World Cup at every opportunity, said, "Is it a dream? I don't think so. It doesn't define me as a player. Will a tournament with 6-7 games make me the best in history? Do you think that's fair?" he said. The star also said that he and his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez, whom he proposed to, will marry after the World Cup in 2026. "I hope there will be a trophy," the Portuguese added.

Ronaldo said he is close to retirement and has been planning it for years. The star player said, "My retirement is close. I think I am ready, it will be hard, I will probably cry, but I have been preparing my future since I was 25 years old." Ronaldo, who aims to reach 1000 goals before he retires, said, "I have 948 goals and I have videos of all of them."
FIFA used Bruno Fernandes instead of Ronaldo
FIFA featured Bruno Fernandes instead of Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo on the 2026 World Cup poster. It also had the caption '42 nations, one dream' in reference to Ronaldo's statement 'The World Cup is not my dream'. After a while, FIFA deleted this poster and released a new one.
Portugal, who matched with Morocco in the last World Cup, lost the match 1-0 and said goodbye to the tournament in the quarterfinals. The only goal of the match was scored by En Nesyri, who currently plays for Fenerbahçe. FIFA used Nesyri's goal in this match in the newly released poster. On the other hand, Ronaldo was also featured in the new poster.
