Charles Leclerc Wishes Cristiano Ronaldo to Win the 2026 World Cup

Cristiano Ronaldo has been named in Portugal's squad for the 2026 World Cup, which will be his sixth World Cup appearance as a professional footballer.

Alongside the Selecao das Quinas, Ronaldo's best achievement was reaching the quarterfinals, which he achieved at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

When asked about the 2026 World Cup, Leclerc admitted that he doesn't follow football closely but hopes Ronaldo can win the tournament.

"I'm probably the worst person to ask about this... I don't really follow football. I mean, my first memory of football was playing it myself, and it wasn't a great experience.

"But I do enjoy watching great games, so I'll definitely be watching. I'm disappointed that Italy isn't in the World Cup this year. I'll be supporting my friends, and it would be amazing if Ronaldo could win with Portugal before he retires, so I'll be keeping an eye on that," Leclerc added.

Portugal is in Group K of the 2026 World Cup, competing against the Congo, Uzbekistan, and Colombia. Portugal is the top seed to advance to the round of 32.
