There is one glaring omission on Cristiano Ronaldo's resume: a World Cup title.
He is four wins away from adding that missing piece in what could be the final World Cup for the 37-year-old. But his run thus far in the 2022 tournament hasn't exactly been the making of a storybook ending. His lackluster play, following his messy divorce with Manchester United just days before the World Cup began, has some fans calling for the longtime fan-favorite to be benched.
Should Ronaldo regain form when Portugal takes on Switzerland in the round of 16 on Tuesday, it will give an already potent team that features Ruben Dias, Ruben Neves and Bruno Fernandes another weapon.
Portugal finished atop Group H following wins over Ghana and Uruguay, along with a loss to South Korea. Ronaldo and Portugal have not advanced beyond the round of 16 since 2006 when the team finished third, matching the nation's best finish.
Switzerland, which last advanced to the quarterfinals in 1954, is also seeking its first World Cup title. The team finished second in Group G after defeating Cameroon and Serbia and narrowly losing to top-ranked Brazil and are one of the remaining darkhorses in the bracket.
