Cristiano Ronaldo has vowed he will wake up tomorrow with no regrets after crashing out of his final World Cup following Portugal's late 1-0 defeat against Spain in the round of 16. The Portuguese superstar‚ 41‚ broke down in tears on the pitch after Mikel Merino's stoppage-time winner snatched victory for Spain in Dallas‚ calling an end to Ronaldo's historic World Cup career. Ronaldo‚ who is the only player in history to score at six World Cups‚ will now finish his glittering career without international football's greatest prize after confirming prior to Portugal's last-16 clash with Spain that this summer's tournament in the United States‚ Canada and Mexico would be his last.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY LUKE AUGUSTUS: The World Cup knockout stages are firmly underway in what is the biggest edition in the tournament's history‚ having been expanded to 48 teams. However‚ there has been a rather large elephant in rooms across Canada‚ Mexico and the United States... the absence of Italy. In March‚ the four-time winners failed to qualify for a third-straight World Cup - a travesty which is alarmingly becoming the norm for a country with such a rich footballing pedigree. This summer marks 20 years since Italy were last triumphant - prevailing 5-3 on penalties against France‚ following a 1-1 draw after extra-time.
