Provided they are spared injuries, Ronaldo and Argentina superstar Lionel Messi would become the first players to make six World Cup appearances at the tournament in the USA, Canada and Mexico.

Portugal, the 2016 European champions, are clear favorites in Group K, where their toughest opponent, Colombia, awaits on 28 June. Ronaldo and Co. will also face Uzbekistan (June 23) and the Democratic Republic of Congo on June 17.
