Ronaldo on his retirement from the national team: "I'll end it when I want it, not when you want it"

Cristiano Ronaldo, the forward for Portugal, responded to questions about his retirement from the national team before the match against Spain in the Round of 16 of the World Cup. The match between Portugal and Spain is scheduled for July 6 at 22:00. Ronaldo emphasized that he has always been committed to the national team since joining it at age 18 and reiterated that he will retire on his own terms, not based on others' desires. He criticized repeated questioning on the same topic as a waste of time. Ronaldo has played 232 matches for Portugal, scoring 146 goals, and has won the European Championship in 2016 and the Nations League twice (2018/19 and 2024/25).
