Ragnarok: Three Legends Bid Farewell to the World Cup Stage

Within just two days, the world of football witnessed the curtain call of three legends as Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, and Guillermo Ochoa, three veteran stars, said goodbye to the World Cup one after another, writing a moving chapter of "Ragnarok."

Brazilian star Neymar came off the bench in his team's World Cup match against Norway and scored a penalty, becoming the second Brazilian player after Pelé to score in four World Cups. At the age of 34 years and 150 days, he also set the record for the oldest Brazilian goalscorer in World Cup history. After Brazil was eliminated in the Round of 16, Neymar officially announced his retirement from the Brazilian national team, stating that his international career has come to a fulfilling end.

Mexican goalkeeper Ochoa also bid farewell to the stage. This evergreen veteran of football set a milestone by becoming the third player in history to appear in six World Cups. Although he only came off the bench for 12 minutes in the group stage this tournament, his story of guarding the goal for his country for decades has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. After Mexico was eliminated, the veteran sobbed uncontrollably on the bench, a moment that moved everyone.

Compared to the two legends, the 41-year-old Ronaldo remained in a core position, continuing to write football miracles. In this World Cup, he not only scored twice against Uzbekistan in the group stage, becoming the first player to score in six World Cups, but also netted his first World Cup knockout-stage goal against Croatia. Despite ultimately bowing out in the Round of 16, his unwavering dedication and passion became the most touching footnote of this World Cup.

With that, the Iberian Derby came to a conclusion as Spain advanced to the quarterfinals, awaiting the winner between Belgium and the United States, while the World Cup stage formally bid farewell to three legends. Time is silent, legends are immortal. With half a lifetime of perseverance, they have engraved the most touching youth and faith in football.
