What if Cristiano Ronaldo’s last World Cup was reduced to… a single match? The scenario seemed impossible, almost unthinkable for a legend of his caliber. And yet, Portugal is holding its breath.
Catastrophe is approaching for CR7! Sent off against Ireland, the first red card of his entire international career after 226 impeccable appearances, Cristiano Ronaldo finds himself at the center of a storm. A simple yellow turned red for an elbow on Dara O’Shea, and now there’s an automatic suspension for the clash against Armenia. But this may only be the beginning of the nightmare.
According to FIFA’s disciplinary code, a “serious offense” results in at least two matches of suspension. An “assault,” which includes elbow strikes, carries a minimum of three matches.
Verdict: if the penalty is increased, Ronaldo could start the 2026 World Cup from the stands, forced to wait while Portugal advances… or collapses.
The last dramatic dance of Cristiano Ronaldo
Worse: if the Seleção struggles in the group stage, CR7 might only have the chance for one final match, a cruel, almost tragic farewell. If FIFA confirms a heavy sanction, Ronaldo would even miss the potential playoffs in March. In other words: the entire path to his ultimate World Cup would be compromised.
CR7 has never seemed so close to a shattered destiny. And football is holding its breath: Ronaldo’s last dance could turn into a drama.
