Cristiano Ronaldo has dismissed any immediate plans to retire from international football, asserting that he still has much to offer the Portuguese national team. Speaking at a press conference, the 39-year-old forward emphasized that he will step away when he feels he is no longer contributing, referencing former teammate Pepe’s recent retirement. Despite a disappointing Euro 2024 campaign where he failed to score, Ronaldo remains committed to the squad for upcoming Nations League matches against Croatia and Scotland, where he aims for his 900th career goal. He maintains the support of coach Roberto Martinez and stated that the high expectations surrounding the national team were unrealistic. Ronaldo expressed his belief that challenging moments are essential for growth in a player's career. He is currently playing for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia and hinted at possibly retiring at the club level in the future.
