Portugal did not have a persuasive campaign at the World Cup. People expected more from the Euro 2017 Champions, but they were no match to Uruguay in the Round of 16. Ronaldo played his part well, but the other forwards did not impress much, and as a result, Portugal was out early in the tournament.

Apparently, people expected more from Ronaldo.

Cristiano scored four goals in 4 games at the World Cup, being the second highest goalscorer, along with Griezmann, Lukaku, Mbappe, and Cheryshev. The one man to beat them all was Harry Kane; scored six goals in 4 appearances for England at the World Cup.

Ronaldo, individually, did try his best to take Portugal to World Cup glory, but his form was not a match for Uruguay. 4 goals in 4 games at the World Cup is indeed a significant achievement, and this might play a small yet useful part in deciding who should be winning the Ballon'dOr.
