Ronaldo last match for Portugal
Cristiano Ronaldo has played his final match for Portugal and signalled a farewell to the national team, according to the report. His international chapter was described as ending on a cold November afternoon. Before Portugal’s match against Spain during the World Cup, Ronaldo had said he would not play in another World Cup.
Ronaldo is reported to have said goodbye to international football and indicated that he would no longer play in Portugal’s national-team shirt. The farewell message attributed to him was: “It’s time for me to go. Say goodbye to me.”
Ronaldo is credited with 146 international goals for Portugal. He won the European Championship once and the UEFA Nations League twice. Across a 23-year international career, he was described as having helped put Portugal prominently on the football map.
He was reported to be 15 goals short of the 1,000-goal milestone. The account also refers to his move from the number 17 shirt alongside Figo to the number 7 shirt that became closely associated with his identity. After scoring at a World Cup, he said, “I am back.”
Ronaldo grew up in a poor family in Madeira before spending a long period at the centre of Portugal’s football story. Discussions during the later part of his career also included disagreements with the coach. He is referred to as being 41 years old in the account of his farewell.
