Crucified in the last seconds by a goal signed Mitrovic at the end of a game that they did not manage to master (2-1), Portugal surrendered and bowed 2-1 in front of their home crowd, in the final day of the qualifiers at the 2022 World Cup. A cruel disillusion that propels Serbia to Qatar, while the 2016 European champion will have to go through the dams to snatch his ticket to Qatar. The day after the meeting, Cristiano Ronaldo sent a message to Lusitano fans.
“Football has shown us time and time again that sometimes it is the toughest roads that lead to the most expected results. Yesterday’s result was tough, but it’s not enough to bring us down. Our goal of reaching the 2022 World Cup is still there and we know what we need to do to get there. We have no excuses. Portugal is on its way to Qatar », he explained on his Instagram account.
