Meanwhile, Portugal boss Fernando Santos confessed he had run out of superlatives for his star man, declaring him the world’s best. However, on the heels of Ronaldo becoming the fourth player to score at four World Cups, Santos spoke of his hope that he can make it five in 2022."I keep talking about Cristiano but what more can I say?” Santos said. “He's the best in the world. “I hope that he keeps scoring and if he's there in Qatar, I hope he scores again."</blockquote>
