Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo were kicked out of Euro 2024 on Friday after conceding sanctions to France in their quarter-final.
Cristiano Ronaldo exited Euro 2024 without scoring a target as Portugal were beaten on sanctions by France on Friday nights and concerns over his foreign future were immediately asked.
After 120 goalless minutes, the Euro 2016 victors in Hamburg saw their European Championship plan come to an end in a 5-3 battle lost.
It was another unpleasant night for Ronaldo, who failed to convert a series of complimentary- kicks and missed an excellent chance to win the game in more time before organizing to score his penalty in the battle.
The battle saw Ronaldo get his 212th cover for Portugal, but the 39- year- ancient failed to score in a big tournament for the first time in his career. His ten-game goal-scoring streak from 2016 was Kevin De Bruyne's unnecessary Euros report, a former Manchester United and Real Madrid player who failed to live up to his lofty expectations.
Ronaldo turns 40 next year, but have we even seen his last match in a Portugal clothing?
Following Friday night's defeat, Portugal coach Roberto Martinez told the media," It's too soon and raw after the match to talk about that and there have n't been any individual decisions made."
We know this was Ronaldo's final look at a German Championship, despite speculation about whether or not he will still play for his nation in the 2024 World Cup in North America.
" Without a doubt it's the last Euro]for me], of training it is", Ronaldo told Portuguese Television following the previous- 16 win over Slovenia.
" But I'm not mental about that. I'm moved by everything that sports entails, by the joy I have for the sport, the eagerness I see in the fans, having my family below, people's passion... it's not about leaving the world of football. What else is there for me to accomplish or gain"?
Ronaldo's previous Real Madrid partner Pepe is currently in his final season of professional football, with the 41-year-old claiming that after losing to France, he will soon be speaking up about the situation.
" I may have the opportunity to converse in the future", he said. Because people might be discussing my future instead of discussing this process tomorrow, I do n't want to talk about it right away.
