Ronaldo had confirmed, after Portugal’s loss to Spain 1-0 in the quarter-finals, that he would not make any hasty decision regarding his international future, indicating that he would meet with his family before deciding his final position.
In a related context, Ronaldo re-published a message from the Portuguese national football team’s account in which he thanked the late coach of the national team, Roberto Martinez, after the end of his career with the team, following the failure to lead Portugal to compete for the 2026 World Cup title.
There is widespread anticipation within sports circles in general for Ronaldo’s fate in the coming period, awaiting the veteran star’s final decision on whether to continue his international career or close the curtain on it, with the complete exclusion that the 41-year-old star will end his sports career in general.
