Ronaldo umum persaraan antarabangsa
Bintang bola sepak itu sebelum ini meninggalkan skuad kebangsaan susulan pertikaian dengan jurulatih Jorge Jesus.
German sports news agency dpa reported on Monday that Cristiano Ronaldo has announced his retirement from international football, marking an end to his illustrious career. The 41-year-old striker officially handed in his resignation from the Portuguese national team to the German news agency, citing his decision in a series of social media posts.
Ronaldo's departure from the national team came after a brief international break, following a dispute with coach Jorge Jesus over playing time. The player was initially suspended for 30 days by the Portuguese Football Association, but it was later expected that he would return to the squad for an upcoming UEFA Nations League match in November.
However, Ronaldo has now decided to bring an end to his international career after setting the record for the most goals scored by a male international football player with 146 goals. To the Portuguese people, it is now time for me to return the number seven jersey to our national team, he said in a video. Ronaldo, however, will continue to play for Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr as he strives to reach a total of 1,000 goals throughout his career. He had previously hinted at the possibility of retiring completely from football earlier this year.
