Cristiano Ronaldo’s World Cup Journey Gets a Touch of Hope in New Animated Video by Artist Hamid Sahari
Cristiano Ronaldo may be a legendary name in football, but the FIFA World Cup trophy has always eluded him. In a heartfelt and hopeful animated video, artist Hamid Sahari captures Ronaldo’s relentless pursuit of this career-defining prize, giving fans a nostalgic yet optimistic look at his journey.
The video revisits Ronaldo’s heartbreaks through five World Cup tournaments. Starting in 2006, Sahari shows the young Portuguese star’s defeat at the hands of Fabio Cannavaro’s Italy. In 2010, Ronaldo’s dreams were dashed again as he fell to his former Real Madrid teammate Iker Casillas, who led Spain to victory. The saga continues with the 2014 World Cup, where Philip Lahm and Germany took the title, followed by 2018, when Hugo Lloris and a young Kylian Mbappe carried France to triumph. Finally, in 2022, the video showcases Ronaldo’s arch-rival Lionel Messi lifting the trophy, a poignant reminder of what still remains out of reach for Ronaldo.
With the 2026 World Cup approaching, Sahari’s animation ends on a hopeful note, hinting that Ronaldo may yet have one final shot at the trophy that has long eluded him. Fans of Ronaldo and football are calling this animation a must-watch, appreciating both its humor and the glimmer of hope it brings for one of the sport’s greatest icons.
