Cristiano Ronaldo<\/strong> has taken a decisive step in his soccer career. The player, considered one of the greatest of all time, has officially announced his retirement from Portugal\u2019s national team after a 23-year run representing his country.
During this emotional moment, the soccer star has leaned on the support of his wife, Georgina Rodr\u00edguez<\/a>, who didn\u2019t hesitate to publicly show her solidarity with the father of her children.
This decision means Cristiano<\/a> is only stepping away from his national team. He will remain active as a center forward for Al-Nassr FC, the club he has played with since December 2022.
In the early hours of Thursday, November 5, the player shared a video on his social media announcing the news, which immediately shook the internet, sparking reactions from fellow players and extensive coverage from sports media.
\u201cPortuguese people, the day has come to return the number 7 jersey of the national team that belongs to all of us. Today, the time has come to hand it over to the future. It has not been an easy decision, because there are decisions you don\u2019t make only with your head, you also make them with your heart.\u201d<\/strong>
\u201cWhen I look back and think about everything I experienced with the national team, I don\u2019t just see matches, goals, records, or trophies. I see people, I see emigrants who, for 90 minutes, felt Portugal a little bit closer.<\/a>\u201d
\u201cThere were victories I will never forget, there were defeats that are still hard for me to remember today. I also failed, I also suffered, there were moments when I wasn\u2019t able to give the Portuguese people what they wanted most, but I never gave up<\/strong>. And above all, I never stopped feeling proud to represent Portugal,\u201d said the 41-year-old player, who acknowledged the highs and lows he experienced with his country\u2019s team.
\u201cI had the privilege of being your captain, but no captain walks alone. And you are part of my story. To all the coaches, directors, doctors, physiotherapists, equipment managers, staff members. Many of you never appeared in the photos, but without you, none of those photos would have been possible.\u201d
\u201cToday, my journey on the field with the national team comes to an end<\/strong>. I leave with my head held high, proud of the road I\u2019ve traveled and knowing that I gave everything I had for Portugal<\/strong>. The number 7 jersey stays; the pride of having worn it will be mine forever. Portugal will always be inside me. Farewell.\u201d
Under the video Cristiano posted on his social media accounts, dozens of reactions poured in. One of the standouts came from Georgina Rodr\u00edguez, who commented using these emojis: \u201c\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u201d. True to the discretion with which she has always handled everything related to her husband\u2019s professional career, Gio showed her support this way, making it clear that she loves him and will always be by his side, no matter what he decides.
On September 27, Portugal faced Norway in the UEFA Nations League. Cristiano, who had started in the previous match against Wales, began this game on the bench. Jorge Jesus, the national team\u2019s head coach, kept him warming up for half an hour and, in the end, didn\u2019t send him onto the field. When the match ended with a 2\u20131 victory for Portugal, Cristiano went straight to the locker room without celebrating with his teammates.
After their time in Oslo, the team, together with Cristiano, traveled to Malm\u00f6 (Sweden) to train before heading to Denmark for their next match on October 1. Tensions escalated to the point that Cristiano did not train with the squad and, after a press conference in which Jorge Jesus reaffirmed his authority, Cristiano Ronaldo left the training camp without notice and flew from Copenhagen to Madrid.
Due this situation, a disciplinary file was opened against the star, and he received a 30-day suspension\u2014from September 30 to October 30\u2014as well as a fine of 255 euros.
Just a few days ago, reports claimed Cristiano was on Jesus\u2019s preliminary list of called-up players for the next Nations League games, but on November 5, the Manchester United star announced the end of his time with his country\u2019s national team.
Portugal\u2019s official Instagram account wrote: \u201cThank you for everything, Cristiano \u2764\ufe0f \ud83d\udc10\u201d.
Javier \u2018Chicharito\u2019 Hern\u00e1ndez<\/strong>, Neymar Jr.<\/strong>, James Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong>, Memo Ochoa<\/strong>, Vozinha<\/strong>, Vinicius Junior<\/strong>, among other players, expressed their admiration for Cristiano, recognizing his tireless work with Portugal\u2019s national team.
His current club, Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, also joined the messages of support as he bids farewell to Portugal\u2019s national team.
\u201cThis is not just a chapter, it\u2019s history you helped shape. You are an icon for the entire world, not only for Portugal. Portugal is in your heart, and you are in the hearts of the world. A page has turned, but there is still more history for us to write together in your home, Al Nassr,\u201d read their message.
