A look at Cristiano Ronaldo’s forgetful 2022 year
Cristiano Ronaldo had a year to forget as he was at the center of controversy on various occasions. He joined his boyhood club Manchester United in the hope of ending his career at the club with dignity. Although, things went south after tension emerged between the striker and the club’s management. Reportedly, Ronaldo even tried leaving the club on various occasions but failed every time.
Manchester United parted ways with the striker after his controversial interview with Piers Morgan aired. Cristiano Ronaldo openly criticized the club’s owners, management, and former legends because of some turmoil. He even took shots at former teammates Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville when they said foul about his performances. His contract was terminated while he was in Qatar for the World Cup.
Cristiano Ronaldo also failed to win the only trophy that is untouched by the striker. A promising Portugal side was knocked out by African nation Morocco in the quarter-finals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. It was devastating for the Portuguese captain as he failed to make his World Cup dream come true.
