Watch: Armenia vs Portugal World Cup Qualifier Highlights<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Portugal and Armenia took on each other on Sunday, October 16. Bruno Fernandes and Joao Neves scored hat-tricks in their crucial game against Armenia with a 9-1 defeat, compensating Ronaldo\u2019s red card suspension during the qualifiers round against Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, Ronaldo will have chances of facing a two-match suspension following his send off against Ireland with a 2-0 loss. The victory was crucial for Portugal after their unexpected defeat to Ireland; they needed to beat Armenia to guarantee the top position in group F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hungary had an opportunity to overtake Portugal for the group lead but suffered a dramatic 3-2 loss against Ireland at Budapest. Ronaldo recently stated that it would be his last World Cup to win for his country. If he manages his fitness levels, he will play the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Messi and Ronaldo set for record World Cup appearance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Defending champions of the World Cup, Argentina and Portugal have officially made their spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, that means that the fans will witness the two legends play for their countries for the last possible time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upcoming World Cup will be the sixth appearance for both the players, surpassing the great German Lothar Matth\u00e4us, who had a record five World Cup appearances to his name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Messi, who has already achieved his dream of winning the World Cup for his country will see hopes this year too with his team being in impeccable form. On the other hand, Ronaldo has the Euros in 2016 and two Nations League titles with Portugal, hoping to add the World Cup title to his achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
