    They qualified for 2002 without Ronaldo and Pauleta was the top scorer in qualifying for them

     

    Pauleta was top scorer again when they qualified for 2006 

     

    When qualifying for 2010 they had to go through a play off, with Simao as top scorer, don't think Ronaldo scored a goal 

     

    For 2014 he was their top scorer but they needed a play off to get there 

     

    For 2018 he was their top scorer

     

    For 2022 he was top scorer in the group stage but they needed a play off, where Bruno F was top scorer 

     

     

    They qualified for Euro 96 and 2000 without him, they hosted in 2004 and have qualified since

     

    Portugal benefitted from both the WC and Euro expansion, combined with increase in talent (before Ronaldo), so this idea that he's dragged Portugal up makes for a lovely tweet but scratch beneath the surface and reality is very much different

    Never understand the hate ronaldo gets its insane i hope he gets a club who can still fight for titles etc because he isn't done he has a different personalty agreed but thats what makes him,Messi never got wrote off when he failed at psg in his first season and isn't even psgs best player.

    Yet Ronaldo has been wrote off after being the 2nd top goal scorer in an elite league and saved man u time and time again at the age of 36/37,Yet messi has had what 5 finals with Argentina and spat his dummy out after losing.I Rate messi i'd be a fool to not but what Ronaldo has done for Portugal is unreal he is the goat...Bring of the hate

    p.s..I also think Ronaldo gets a lot of hate for playing in England,We have very toxic media here and Ronaldo always sells

     

     

     

     

    The point is Man-U got worse even though Ronaldo individually had some decent numbers on the surface, there were large periods where he was poor and so were Man-U

     

    What has Ronaldo done with Portugal that Messi hasn't with Argentina? Messi's best tournaments with Argentina surpass the best Ronaldo has managed for Portugal
