Cristiano Ronaldo is also expected to challenge the 2026 World Cup in North Korea and the U.S.
“Ronaldo is ready to participate in the World Cup in two years,” the British sports brief quoted Spain’s Lelebo as saying on Tuesday (Korea time). “It is unlikely that the UEFA Euro 2024 will be his last appearance. Portugal will also accept it,” the report said.
Portugal finished the tournament in the quarterfinals. After drawing 0-0 with France in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Euro 2024 at the Hamburg Arena in Hamburg, Germany on the 6th (Korea time), Joao Felix missed the penalty shootout and suffered a 3-5 defeat.
Ronaldo also exited the tournament without scoring a single goal. He was criticized for his poor performance, and in the round of 16 match against Slovenia, he shed tears after missing a penalty kick in the extra time, which caused controversy. His outstanding physical abilities also declined, which was not helpful. Nevertheless, he played as a starter in every match and played nearly full time.토토사이트 모음
Ronaldo has admitted to himself that this was the last Euro. Shortly after the match against Slovenia, he announced that this was the last Euro. He has participated in the Euro six times since 2004.
Ronaldo is reportedly targeting his sixth participation in the World Cup. Currently, Ronaldo has played in five World Cups, with a total of seven players including Antonio Carvajal, Rafa Márquez, Guillermo Ochoa, Andrés Guardado (Mexico), Lothar Mateus (Germany), Gianluigi Buffon (Italy), and Lionel Messi (Argentina). If he participates in the next World Cup, which will take place two years later, he will achieve an unprecedented record of six participations.
However, most of the players argue that Ronaldo’s continued presence in the Portugal national team is harmful to the team. Former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson also recently said, “I cannot imagine that Ronaldo will play in 2026. Soccer will become a faster and more dynamic sport in the future. In contrast to defenders, strikers cannot play at the highest level when they get older.”
