The Repechage match between Sweden and Portugal was one of the most attractive matches of that time, mainly because on the court it was defined which of the two would be left out of the World Cup in Brazil. Cristiano Ronaldo on one side and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, on the other.

Pure football. And they did not disappoint, the Portuguese scored the three goals of the 3-2 victory, and the Swede scored the two goals of the discount. Before, CR7 had taken all the glory scoring 1-0 in the first leg.

The Swedish National Team fell 3-2 to Portugal in the Repechage and was left without the opportunity to qualify for the World Cup. Zlatan, candidate for the Ballon d'Or and one of the best players in the world, showed all his pride. With Cristiano he had a soccer war on the pitch and egos outside, although in his own way, he praised him: "If you give him three counterattacks, he scores three goals. He is the best at that".

After the hard fall, the Milan striker, commented on his feelings about the elimination of his team, but did not put aside his usual arrogance: "A World Cup without me is not worth it. It's a shame to see it, so there's no need to wait for it to arrive". It is true, this time it is not certain that it will touch them against. What is clear is that it is a possibility, and for the good of football, everyone will wish that both are in the next World Cup.
