Portugal qualified for the World Cup! Cristiano Ronaldo posted a message to celebrate: We entered the World Cup and sprinted with all our strength

After defeating Armenia with a score of 9-1, Portugal qualified for the 2026 World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo, who was suspended due to a red card in this campaign, immediately posted, "We are in the World Cup!"

On November 13, in an away game against Ireland, Cristiano Ronaldo elbowed O'Shea. The referee looked back at the slow motion and showed Cristiano Ronaldo a red card. This was the first time Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off with a red card in his national team career.

After getting red in the game against Ireland, Ronaldo was suspended in the game against Armenia. Therefore, the Portuguese Football Association agreed that Ronaldo would leave the national team training camp, and Ronaldo did not return to Portugal with the team.

Although Ronaldo did not watch the game live, after Portugal defeated Armenia, Ronaldo immediately posted on social media, "We have entered the World Cup! Portugal, sprint with all your strength!"

Portugal has qualified for the World Cup for the 9th time in team history and for the 7th consecutive time. At the same time, Ronaldo will also play in the World Cup for the sixth time, becoming the only two players with Messi to play in the World Cup six times.

However, Ronaldo may be suspended for 3 games by FIFA due to his red stain against Ireland, which means that he may miss the first 2 group matches.
