Cristiano Ronaldo said after Portugal’s emotional shootout win over Slovenia on Monday that Euro 2024 will be the last of his career.
It’s unclear how much longer Ronaldo will play, but the Portuguese star will be 43 by the time Euro 2028 kicks off in the United Kingdom.
“It is, without doubt, my last European Championship,” Ronaldo told Portuguese newspaper O Jogo, per The Athletic’s Ben Burrows and Jack Lang. “But I’m not emotional about that. I’m moved by all that football means – by the enthusiasm I have for the game, the enthusiasm for seeing my supporters, my family, the affection people have for me.
