Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed to fans his vision for his future in international football
The Portugal star is at his sixth European Championship and 11th major tournament, winning the Euros once in 2016.
On Monday night he broke down in tears after seeing Slovenia goalkeeper Jan Oblak save his spot-kick in extra-time – before thumping home his second effort in a triumphant penalty shoot-out.
The longevity of a 39-year-old who has played in 1,266 career matches is a marvel and fans have been debating for years how long he can keep going for.
‘It is without a doubt my last European Championship,’ Ronaldo said, via Portuguese outlet O Jogo.
‘But I don’t get emotional about that, I get emotional about everything that football involves.
‘Because of the enthusiasm I have for the game, the enthusiasm of seeing my supporters, my family, the affection that people have for me.
‘It’s not about leaving football, because if I do, what else would I need to do or win?
‘It won’t be about getting one more point or one less point. Making people happy is what motivates me the most.’
Ronaldo is still searching for a goal at this Euros but it is not for a lack of trying.
