Portugal v Morocco: Group B - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia
Cristiano Ronaldo

The Real Madrid forward had a superb time in the group stage. He managed to score 4 goals for his country, Portugal. He has scored 4 out of the 5 goals scored by Portugal and all of his goals have resulted in victories. He failed to score against Iran and Portugal couldn't manage a victory as the match ended with a scoreline of 1-1. He also missed a penalty against Iran which could have haunted them but, fortunately, they did qualify.

He has taken his country into the round of 16 single-handedly and they will expect more of the same from their talismanic skipper. The legend has scored 85 times in 153 matches and he will look to increase his goal tally in the upcoming World Cup games. He will look to inspire Portugal to more wins and he is definitely one of the strongest contenders for the Golden Ball.
