Cristiano Ronaldo not ready to retire from international football

Cristiano Ronaldo has firmly stated that he has no intention of retiring from international football anytime soon, despite speculation following the Euro 2024. During a news conference, he expressed that the criticism he faced only fueled his motivation to continue representing Portugal. Ronaldo emphasized his desire to win the Nations League again, a title he previously helped Portugal secure in 2018-19. He remains confident in his abilities and believes he is still an asset to the national team, as supported by coach Roberto Martinez's comments. At 39 years old, Ronaldo acknowledged that he would be the first to recognize when he is no longer contributing effectively. He assured fans that he would make a smooth transition when the time comes, maintaining a clear conscience about his career choices. Ronaldo's commitment to his national team is evident, as he has scored a record 130 international goals, the highest for any male player, in 212 appearances. In addition to his international achievements, Ronaldo has also received accolades for his club performances, including a special award from UEFA for his record-breaking Champions League accomplishments. He is the all-time leading scorer in the competition, with 140 goals, and has been the top scorer in multiple seasons. Looking ahead, Ronaldo mentioned his plans to retire at Al Nassr, although he anticipates that this will not happen for another two or three years. His focus remains on contributing to his team and achieving further success on the international stage.
