The streak made Portugal talk.
A few seconds after the final whistle between the Portuguese and the Serbs on Sunday night, the cameras were fixed on Cristiano Ronaldo.
The star of the 2016 European champions appeared annoyed and disappointed to see his selection being forced to go through the dams at the end of March to validate his ticket to the 2022 World Cup after his failed exit against Serbia on Sunday evening (1-2 ).

My team will be at the World Cup, that's guaranteed, it will just go through the dams, which is not normal.
We will have to prepare well to beat our opponent in March and be in Qatar.
»Appointment is made.
