Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, left the pitch in tears as they were dumped out of the 2022 World Cup by Morocco.

Youssef En-Nesyri netted the only goal of the game as the Atlas Lions progressed into the semi-finals.

Ronaldo started the match on the bench, the second successive fixture Fernando Santos has left him out of the starting XI.

However, the 37-year-old was introduced early in the second half, as Portugal fought to level the scoreline.

But the former European champions failed to break the Moroccans’ resolve.

Ronaldo is now widely expected to retire from international football following what was his 196th appearance for his country.

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
