North Macedonia is looking to experience another incredible shock when they take on Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo in the FIFA World Cup Path B play-off final. Cristiano Ronaldo urged local fans to make their mark at the Portos Dragao Stadium on Tuesday when Portugal hosts the North Macedonian giants in a play-off match to secure a place for the winners in Qatar’s World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal team is one step away from qualifying for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and will take on North Macedonia in a critical European play-off final. Portugal will play at home with North Macedonia. Portugal aims to catch up for their sixth World Cup in a row. Ronaldo is looking to play in his tenth consecutive major tournament after participating in four World Cups and five European Championships since 2004. North Macedonia is aiming for a fourth straight away win but will face a Portugal team that will present a highly motivated Ronaldo who, at 37, is unlikely to have another chance to appear in the four-year-old World Cup. Players from North Macedonia in Tuesday’s play-off final will include another significant European football power, Portugal, who beat Turkey 3-1 to keep Cristiano Ronaldo‘s hopes of playing in what will likely be his last World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo Portugal will now face a determined team from North Macedonia, who have taken 32 shots on goal without conceding against Italy. It will be determined to perform another excellent killing feat. Portugal is once again the favourites, but they will know how Portugal used their luck against Turkey when they face another team that will line up for defence. After Turkey’s elimination, Portugal is in contention for a spot in the first pot of the World Cup Final draw if they can surpass and maintain their position in the FIFA World Rankings when the new list is released on March 31st. Sky Bet offers Portugal a 14/1 chance of winning the FIFA World Cup, making Portugal the eighth favourite after Brazil, France, England, Spain, Germany, Argentina, and Belgium. We certainly have North Macedonia most excited to arrive in this grand final, especially considering North Macedonia had just knocked out the reigning European champions with a discounted Trajkovski goal, beating the four-time world champions. Despite their status as defending European champions, the Italians bid farewell to the World Cup; they missed automatic qualification, but they lost to North Macedonia in extra time with a remarkable goal. Both the teams will be very determined to win the game and book their spot in the globally famous football tournament. Ronaldo has already announced that the Portugal team will play in the FIFA World Cup 2022, so will we witness a world-class performance from CR7?
