"I joked with Casemiro that the final will be Portugal against Brazil," the Manchester United forward said.
"The World Cup is the most difficult competition in the world. I’m dreaming of it. I know it will be tough, it will be difficult, but dreaming is free and I’m dreaming all the time."
Both Portugal and Brazil have quite potent squads, although experts argue that Tite’s side has a slightly stronger group.
Interestingly, Ronaldo’s dream of meeting Brazil in the final could be ended early as Portugal could face the Brazilians if they finish second in their Group, while Neymar and his wads finish their Group as winners.
Brazil is in Group G along with Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon.
