Portugal Football Team,European Championship

Portugal and Al Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo will compete in his sixth European Championship this summer, a new record having already become broke the record caps and goals scored on the international stage

Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to insinuate that retirement is not that far away, admitting that he "doesn't have many years left" in the game.

Despite his work-rate and return continuing at their usual pace, Ronaldo, who turns 40 early next year, hinted that his time on the football stage could be coming to an end. The uptick in form arrives after his disappointing 2022 World Cup showing. Fuelled by a fractious second exit from Manchester United. The Portugal star did not complete a full match in Qatar and was infamously benched for the crucial Round of 16 clash with Switzerland, in which his replacement Goncalo Ramos scored a sublime hat-trick in the 6-1 rout.
