In the 2016 European Cup, the Portuguese team led by Cristiano Ronaldo became a dark horse team. Even though they were not favored, they still surged all the way and successfully crushed all teams. The opponent finally won the championship trophy. After winning that tournament, Ronaldo also helped the Portuguese team win the first international trophy in team history, and Ronaldo's historical status was further enhanced.

However, after leading the team to win the European Cup, Ronaldo gradually ran out of luck. Because in the last seven tournaments, CR7 has encountered seven consecutive death groups. First, in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, the Portuguese team led by Ronaldo encountered resistance from the Swiss team. As a result, the Portuguese team lost to their opponents in the first round of the World Cup qualifiers, which directly caused their qualifying situation to become confusing. .

Fortunately, with the help of Ronaldo, the Portuguese team successfully counterattacked and overtook the Swiss team with a 9-game winning streak and qualified first in the group. Then in the 2018 World Cup, Ronaldo's team encountered challenges from Spain, Morocco and Iran. As a result, after three rounds of the group stage, the Portuguese team stumbled and was eliminated by Uruguay.

In the 2019 UEFA Nations League, although Cristiano Ronaldo's team won the championship, the road to the championship was full of hardships. After all, they had encountered obstacles from the Italian team and the Polish team in the group stage. In the 2021 European Cup qualifiers, Ronaldo encountered attacks from the Ukraine and Serbia teams, and in the end could only advance as second in the group. In the subsequent European Cup draw, Cristiano Ronaldo met the two strong opponents of the German team and the French team.

In the second UEFA Nations League, Ronaldo's fortune was not good either. After being in the same group as France, Croatia, and Sweden, the Portuguese team only finished second in the group and missed the chance. Advance to the semi-finals.

As a result, now, the draw result of the 2022 World Cup preliminaries has hit Ronaldo hard again, because the Portuguese team is in the same group as Serbia, Ireland, Luxembourg and Azerbaijan. Since the Serbian team and Ireland have the strength to block Portugal, there is indeed a possibility that the Portuguese team will not qualify. Even if it does, it will probably be full of ups and downs.

It can be seen that after this draw ceremony, Portuguese ace Ronaldo felt physically and mentally exhausted, but Messi received the gift from a distance. Because Ronaldo's recent national team career has not gone well, Messi also has the opportunity to catch up with Ronaldo during the national team period.
