Ronaldo Declares Current World Cup Will Be His Last

Cristiano Ronaldo, at 41 years old, stated in a pre-match press conference that the ongoing World Cup will be his last. He is set to lead Portugal against Spain in the Round of 16 of the tournament co-hosted by the USA, Mexico, and Canada.

Ronaldo has made history as the first player to feature in six World Cups and is the oldest player in the knockout round. He has scored a penalty in the tournament, contributing to Portugal's 2-1 victory over Croatia in the Round of 32.

Ronaldo expressed his desire to enjoy this World Cup and hopes it is not his final game, stating he will retire from international football on his own terms. He has scored three goals in World Cup history and remains proud of his achievements, including five Ballon d'Or awards and five UEFA Champions League titles.

Despite criticism, he maintains that missing a World Cup win will not diminish his legacy.
