29.10.2022 » Who will Cristiano Ronaldo face in the World Cup 2022?
No one can push the excitement through the roof other than Cristiano Ronaldo and his flourishing football career – even more so when he has made headlines with a 15-goal record in 19 appearances within three tournaments. With such a record, Ronaldo has established his name as one of the best players in the sport. Moreover, this year's World Cup will offer a new level of heat since an exciting generation will join Cristiano. With iconic stars like Lionel Messi, defending champion Kylian Mbappe, and fine midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, Qatar will be a showpiece for football fans all over the world...
Cristiano Ronaldo - The last chance at the World Cup:
Kylian Mbappe
Kylian Mbappe dominates the French scene, especially with a record of 18 goals this season only. Likewise, Mbappe is leading the team's frontlines even at the young age of 23. Mbappe is a name fans will look forward to, especially since he reigned in the FIFA World Cup four years ago.
Likewise, since Mbappe has proven his football fierceness with such a history, Cristiano Ronaldo will need to up his game and lead their attack as a focal point in Qatar. Nonetheless, it'll be a worthwhile game that'll leave fans hanging on their seats and looking up World Cup odds for the latest sports updates.
Lionel Messi
The World Cup 2022 will be Lionel Messi's last appearance which means all eyes will be on him as he finally strives to add a World Cup title to his accomplishments. Come what may, Messi is a successful individual player, with three European Golden Shoe awards and six La Liga Player of the Year awards. He even holds five Ballon d'Or awards, a title awarded to the player with the best performance in the previous year.
Kevin De Bruyne
The Belgian midfielder, Kevin De Bruyne, continues to dazzle the field with multiple titles and awards attached to his name. In his entire career, he has already made 605 appearances for national and club teams and set a 143-goal record. Moreover, Kevin De Bruyne has advanced to become one of the top three players in the world – as he was voted into the final three of the 2022 Ballon d'Or Awards.
Takefasa Kubo
Although Takefasa Kubo is only 21, this Japanese midfielder has made quite an appearance in the big leagues. His football debut made headlines as he was dubbed the "Japanese Messi" with his three best qualities: rapid decision-making, incredible movement, and speed to create spaces for his team. Overall, Kubo has the potential to become a "‘wonderkid" and set a showcase in Qatar in 2022.

The World Cup 2022 will surely be a stage worth waiting for, especially with iconic players and new talent in its arsenal. Likewise, Cristiano Ronaldo fans will remember this game forever – as it is his last international tournament with Portugal.
