Ronaldo’s Still Got It: Portuguese Superstar Eyes More International Success
Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal-scoring exploits continue to boggle the mind. With 898 career goals to his name, including 130 for Portugal, the 37-year-old shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, he’s confirmed his desire to continue playing for his country, with his sights set on helping Portugal in their upcoming Nations League matches.
"When I leave the national team, I won’t tell anyone in advance and it will be a very spontaneous decision on my part, but also a very well thought-out one," Ronaldo revealed. We can’t help but wonder when that day will come, but for now, he’s focused on the task at hand.
Portugal’s next matches include a home game against Croatia on September 5, followed by a trip to Scotland three days later. They’ll then host Poland on October 12 and Scotland again on October 15. Will Ronaldo be on the scoresheet? You can bet your house on it.
But what about his long-term plans? The thought of becoming a manager doesn’t even cross his mind, according to the six-time Ballon d’Or winner. Instead, he’s set to receive a special award from Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin to mark his incredible achievements in the Champions League. With 140 goals in 183 appearances, Ronaldo is the all-time leading scorer in the competition, a whopping 11 goals clear of Lionel Messi and 46 ahead of Robert Lewandowski.
Ronaldo’s five Champions League titles, including four with Real Madrid, are a testament to his enduring quality. Can he add to his trophy cabinet? We can’t wait to find out.
