Cristiano Ronaldo is the only player in history to have scored in 5 World Cups.
On Instagram, the forward of the Portugal National Team is the personality that generates the most income for a post.
Conquering a new record, CR7 says goodbye to the World Cup in Qatar, considered the most expensive in history.
The World Cup (and the dream of lifting the cup?) Has ended for Cristiano Ronaldo, being eliminated from Qatar by Morocco and in the midst of crying, which has even reached social networks and, of course, Nike .
From the beginning, it was known that the captain of the Portugal National Team and the former Manchester striker would start as a substitute in the Quarterfinal match that the team led by CR7 would face against Morocco; however, it seemed that everything was ready for a final in which the greatest stars of world football, Messi and Ronaldo, would face each other; a final that many brands and marketing undoubtedly expected.
And it is that, ultimately, the last 15 years, the world of football has been framed by the rivalry between the Portuguese and the Argentine, two of the most profitable brands in the history of football.
In this sense, the former figure of Barcelona Football Club has been considered the best player in history. Of course, it is a fact subject to debate, because, in the end, we are talking about something merely subjective.
What is not in dispute is that, currently, the PSG striker remains a very profitable brand, which, according to Transfermarkt, is worth 50 billion euros. In addition, he currently has a contract with the Parisian club with an annual salary of 40 million euros.
Regarding its presence with the brands, what stands out the most is his lifetime contract with Adidas, through which he receives about 23 million euros per year.
Without a doubt, football has proven to be a great generator of a good brand-consumer relationship and players like Lionel Messi himself and Cristiano Ronaldo are two clear examples of this. In fact, the Portuguese has a brand value of 20 billion euros.
Cristiano Ronaldo says goodbye to Qatar crying; Nike and the networks also cry
Little by little, Cristiano Ronaldo’s presence in the World Cup in Qatar deteriorated, being relegated to the bench since the Round of 16 match, a decision in which, in addition to CR7, Nike would be affected.
So, while his possible signing in Arab football is being discussed, with which he would earn up to 119 million euros per season, which could reach 200 million if various bonuses are added, what should be emphasized is the contract for life who, since 2016, signed with Nike with a value of one billion dollars.
From this perspective, the elimination of Portugal from Qatar has not only affected Cristiano Ronaldo, but we are also talking about one of the strongest blows also for the popcorn brand and, as if that were not enough, for a large community of Internet users who they regret the images of CR7 crying after his farewell to the World Cup and, most likely, the possibility of being world champion.

Without a doubt, this could have been the dream of the sports marketing in the event that Messi and CR7 had faced each other in the final of what is presumed to be their last World Cup.
