Doha: Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo hailed fans in Qatar for their incredible support at the FIFA World Cup.
As the Portugal team heads for a face-off with Morocco in the quarter-final of the World Cup, Portugal's most capped player and lead scorer took to social media to pen an inspiring message for his fans.
In a post on his social media, Ronaldo wrote, "There is a World Cup that Portugal has already won: that of the fans! The support and affection we have felt from so many Portuguese people (and not only!) here in Qatar, so far from our homeland, is incredible. Continue to support us in good and bad times, we will do everything to repay you with victories! Strength Portugal!"
Ronaldo was benched for the Round of 16 clash against Switzerland and replacement Goncalo Ramos scored hat-trick. It is still not clear if he will be part of the team that faces the Atlas Lions today evening at Al Thumama Stadium.
