Cristiano Ronaldo is not yet ready to make a decision about ending his football career. After the Portugal national team's exit from the World Cup, the forward stated that he wants to spend time with his family first and only then determine his future.
The Portugal national team finished its performance in the tournament after losing to Spain 0-1 in the Round of 16.
After the game, 41-year-old Ronaldo confirmed that this World Cup was his last. However, he did not answer the question of whether he would continue his playing career.
“Yes, this was my last World Cup, but I still have time to think about everything else, to be with my family, and not to make hasty decisions,” Ronaldo said.
According to the captain of the Portuguese national team, losses are part of sports, so it is important to calmly assess the situation and move on.
Although Ronaldo will not play in World Cups anymore, his future plans at the club level remain unknown. That is why the question of continuing his career remains open.
Ronaldo has had one of the most successful international careers in football history with the Portugal national team. The main achievement was winning the European Championship in 2016.
Another unique achievement of the forward was his performances in World Cups. He scored in six consecutive World Cups and has a total of 11 goals in 27 matches in final tournaments.
It is expected that Ronaldo will make a final decision about his future later, after the end of his vacation and consultations with his family.
