Diogo Dalot expressed that every player in the Portugal squad is eager to help Cristiano Ronaldo achieve a memorable World Cup victory before he retires. Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or recipient, will be 41 during the next World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This tournament might be his last opportunity to win the title that has eluded him in five previous attempts.

Despite not winning the World Cup, Ronaldo has led Portugal to success at Euro 2016 and the 2019 Nations League. Currently, Roberto Martinez's team remains in contention for this year's Nations League title as they prepare to face Denmark in a two-legged quarter-final match.

Dalot hopes to achieve more international success while playing alongside his former Manchester United teammate. He remarked on the difficulty of finding new adjectives to describe Ronaldo's impact. "Obviously, it is difficult to find more adjectives to describe Cristiano," he stated.

Dalot emphasised the privilege of having Ronaldo in the national team, sharing moments with him, and learning from his career experiences. "For me, and I believe for others too, it is a huge privilege to continue having him in the national team," Dalot added.

The desire among players to see Ronaldo win major tournaments for Portugal is palpable. Dalot highlighted how Ronaldo's dedication throughout his career serves as an inspiration for them all. "The love he has shown throughout his career cannot be questioned," Dalot noted.

He believes that every player wants to contribute to this potential storybook ending by helping Ronaldo secure as many titles as possible for their country. "For us - using that as an example - it would be a beautiful story to see him win as many competitions as possible for Portugal," Dalot concluded.
