Cristiano Ronaldo, the star of the Portuguese national team, is considering retiring from international football after the 2026 World Cup, but at the same time he stressed that he will continue his career with his country’s national team. Ronaldo, who will turn 42 in February, will play his 234th match for the Portuguese national team against Wales in Lisbon next Thursday, with Portugal coach Jorge Jesus confirming that Ronaldo will be among the starting lineup for this match.

Speculation has increased about the possibility that this match could be Ronaldo's last with the national team, especially in light of what has been raised about his recent performance, but the player confirmed that he will make his decision to retire when he feels that he is no longer able to perform at the required level.

In a related context, Ronaldo was criticized by some commentators, who accused him of not providing the required performance with Al-Nasr Club in the last matches, which ended with a crushing 4-0 defeat against Al-Ain in the AFC Champions League. However, Ronaldo remains committed to his place in the national team, saying: "Yes, I thought about it. Of course, I always think about my decisions and my future, and me being here now means that I will continue. I spoke with the president of the federation and the team coach, and I still believe that I can help the national team achieve what it wants. I will leave when I feel that I no longer offer anything."

Ronaldo also indicated that he can provide support to the national team not only through goals, but also off the field, explaining that there is a new generation of players who need support and guidance.

On the other hand, a Portuguese newspaper, A Bola, showed an opinion poll before the Wales match, in which Ronaldo did not succeed in getting a place in the starting lineup, which reflects the challenges he faces in maintaining his position in the national team.

When asked about his desire to reach 1,000 goals, Ronaldo denied that he had an obsession with it, but admitted that he would be very happy if he could reach this number in a Portugal shirt, saying: “Scoring the 1,000th goal for the national team would be the culmination of something wonderful. It will not be the end of the story, but it will be a beautiful thing. I have admitted that I want to get there, and I will get there. For me, it is about enjoying every day.”

Ronaldo, who currently plays for Saudi club Al-Nassr, has 979 goals in his career. Despite the pressure from the media and commentators, the Portuguese star remains committed to the love of his fans, stressing that he has become accustomed to facing criticism over the years. For him, the most important thing is that he feels good on the field, whether he plays the next match or rests for the next.

What's next?

After the Wales match, the discussion will continue about Ronaldo's future with the Portuguese national team, especially with the 2026 World Cup approaching. If he decides to retire after the tournament, this may require the national team to re-evaluate its strategies and formation, as Ronaldo is considered one of the main pillars of the team.
