🚨 Official, Cristiano confirms: it was my last World Cup | OneFootball

Cristiano Ronaldo finally put an end to the speculation about his future with the Portugal national team after their Round of 16 elimination against Spain. 

"El Bicho" spoke to the press in the mixed zone and dropped the bombshell there: "It was my last World Cup," news that had already gone viral before the Round of 16 clash against Croatia, when his sister, Katia Aveiro, had revealed it. 

"Sad to go out of the World Cup like this, but as I said in the press conference: I gave everything, I gave my best, and I leave with a clear conscience. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but you have to keep going." 

"It's true, it was my last World Cup, but there's time to think about everything else, to be with my family, and not make decisions when I'm heated. Life goes on," mentioned the multiple-time European champion. 

Cristiano leaves the national team with the satisfaction of having taken part in the European Championship triumphs of 2016 and 2025.
