Following Saturday's 1-0 loss to Morocco in the quarterfinals for his side, Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo broke down in tears and choked on his sorrow.
Ronaldo briefly covered his face with his hand, but his displeasure was obvious.
Who is No 1 Messi or Ronaldo?
The 37-year-old star forward's World Cup game was likely his final opportunity to win football's top award.
For the second straight game, Ronaldo was left off the starting lineup. His team was already down when he entered the game as a replacement.
On the day of his 196th international appearance, which tied him with Kuwait forward Badr Al-Mutawa for the most in men's soccer, Ronaldo experienced a terrible ending.
He now departs on the biggest stage of them all as the only player to score in five World Cups, although he still has eight goals left in the competition, one fewer than Eusébio's mark with Portugal.
FIFA posted a video on Twitter in honour of the master, showcasing some of his greatest World Cup performances.
