Cristiano Ronaldo returns with Portugal for what will surely be his final tilt at World Cup glory.

Ronaldo inspired the Selecao to a historic victory at Euro 2016 and they have since won the UEFA Nations League in 2018/19 and 2024/25.

The World Cup has proved too tall an order, though, with Portugal's best showing during his career coming two decades ago when they reached the semifinals in 2006.

Now 41, Ronaldo is aiming for a fairytale finish to his career at the very highest level with Roberto Martienz's talented squad.

Here is everything you need to know about Ronaldo's record sixth appearance at the World Cup, including the latest results from the tournament.
