📸 Not his last match after all? CR7 misses huge chance v Spain
Before the Round of 16 blockbuster against Spain, Cristiano Ronaldo had announced his retirement from international football. The 2026 World Cup will be his last tournament. But how much further can Portugal go?
CR7 himself had a chance to put his side ahead shortly before half-time, but narrowly missed out. Joao Felix had headed the ball towards the striker, who got his shot away while falling and with his back to goal.

Shortly afterwards, Portugal had another chance through Nuno Mendes. After a corner, however, the ball struck the crossbar. Two good chances for Portugal after Spain had already created several opportunities earlier.
