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.
