Cristiano Ronaldo's last dance — one more goal and he enters the top ten in history. Can he do it?

Brothers, this match has extraordinary significance for Ronaldo. At 41, his sixth World Cup, this is his last time wearing the Portugal jersey to compete in the World Cup.

In the round of 32 against Croatia, Ronaldo scored a penalty, securing his first career World Cup knockout stage goal, becoming the oldest scorer in World Cup knockout history at 41 years and 147 days. On the World Cup all-time top scorers list, Ronaldo currently has 11 goals, tied for 11th place. Just one more goal and he will officially enter the top ten; if he scores a brace, he can surpass Pelé (12 goals) to rank 8th.

But brothers, the Ronaldo of today is no longer the Ronaldo who scored a hat-trick against Spain in 2018. Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simón said it bluntly: "Ronaldo is no longer in his prime, but he is still lethal in the box." To translate that — Ronaldo can't run anymore, but you can't give him a chance; if you do, he scores.

Portugal's problem is: who can supply the ammunition for Ronaldo? In that match against Croatia, Ronaldo had few touches on the ball, isolated in the box most of the time. Bernardo Silva returned to organize the midfield, but Bruno Fernandes seems unable to perform in the system. If Portugal's wings can't produce penetration, even if Ronaldo stands in the box, he won't receive the ball.

Spain's defense has not conceded a single goal in this World Cup so far. The goal guarded by Unai Simón has not been breached in four matches. Facing this steel defense, can Ronaldo break his goal drought and rewrite history? This might be the last chance of his career.
