Virat Kohli paid a tribute to the legendary Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, labeling him the greatest of all time after Ronaldo's World Cup dream ended with defeat against Morocco.
Portugal crashed out of the 2022 World Cup after a 0-1 defeat against dark horse Morocco in the quarter-final on Saturday, 10 December.
Kohli later took to Twitter to show his support for Ronaldo calling him the greatest of all time.
"No trophy or any title can take anything away from what you've done in this sport and for sports fans around the world. No title can explain the impact you've had on people and what I and so many around the world feel when we watch you play. That's a gift from god. A real blessing to a man who plays his heart out every single time and is the epitome of hard work and dedication and a true inspiration for any sportsperson. You are for me the greatest of all time," posted Kohli.
Ronaldo, who has been capped 195 times and scored a record 118 goals for his country, will be 41 when the next World Cup begins in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Ronaldo ended the World Cup as the second-highest goal-scorer for Portugal with eight goals to his name, and the only player in the world to have scored in five successive editions of the tournament.
