💣 It's the last dance: Ronaldo's sister hints at goodbye | OneFootball

Katia Aveiro, Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister, believes the striker’s farewell to the Portugal national team could be near.

The footballer’s sister spoke to reporters in Toronto, where Portugal faces Croatia in the 2026 World Cup Round of 32.

Aveiro said she feels confident and happy to be able to experience this moment alongside her brother. She described the match as “the last dance” for both Ronaldo and Luka Modric, with both now in the final stage of their international careers.

Asked about a possible final farewell, Aveiro said she had reliable information suggesting that this World Cup would be Ronaldo’s last with the national team. She clarified, however, that the farewell will not come in this very match.

The striker’s sister also responded to the criticism Ronaldo has received in recent times. She argued that anyone who does not appreciate the footballer “doesn’t understand football” and stressed the pride the whole family feels in his career.
