Cristiano Ronaldo said on Thursday he was retiring from the Portuguese national team, bringing the curtain down on one of the most illustrious international careers in the history of soccer.
The 41-year-old announced that the time had come to “hand back the number 7 shirt,” ending his international career.
Ronaldo captained Portugal to its first major trophy at Euro 2016 and helped it win the 2019 and 2025 Nations League titles.
