What #Pele, LeBron James And #Mbappe Said On Cristiano #Ronaldo‘s Post After #FIFAWorldCup Elimination—–Edson Arantes do Nascimento, known as Pelé, American professional basketball player, LeBron James and Kylian Mbappe have reacted to Cristiano Ronaldo’s statement after Portugal’s World Cup exit on Saturday.
A shocking defeat against Morocco ended Ronaldo’s dream of winning the trophy in Qatar 2022
The 37-year-old was left in tears after the referee blew the final whistle, knowing he had played his final World Cup game for Portugal.
On Sunday, Ronaldo published an emotional statement, mourning his failure to reach “the biggest and most ambitious dream” of his career.
NBA legend Lebron James commented “LEGEND” under Ronaldo’s Instagram post.
Football great Pele, who won three World Cups with Brazil, wrote: “Thanks for making us smile my friend.”
The French star’s admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo is quite public, to the point that as a child he had his room draped with posters of the Portuguese footballer.
The Frenchman responded to the post with three emojis to pay tribute to his idol: that of a crown, that of hands giving thanks and that of a goat, referring to the fact that he is the GOAT, which in English means the ‘greatest of all time’.
Jesse Lingard also referenced Ronaldo’s GOAT credentials but mistakenly wrote “GAOT”.
Former Brazil international Pato responded with a longer comment, writing: “You are an example! You inspire people and children around the world. The same ones that criticise you are the ones who want the same success as you. You are a giant! Congratulations.”
