Cristiano Ronaldo Discusses Future Retirement Plans

Cristiano Ronaldo has announced that he has no plans to retire from international football despite a disappointing Euro 2024 campaign where he failed to score. The 39-year-old, who is set to lead Portugal in the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia and Scotland, expressed his motivation to win the Nations League again and continues to see himself as a valuable asset to the team. Former West Ham goalkeeper Shaka Hislop suggested that Ronaldo's status might prevent manager Roberto Martinez from benching him, while Ronaldo himself dismissed critics, asserting his commitment to contributing to the national team. Meanwhile, Luka Modric, another veteran player, has also resisted retirement, emphasizing his passion and fitness as he prepares to face Ronaldo's Portugal with Croatia.
