After the World Cup, Ronaldo hints towards retirement
Following Portugal’s elimination from the FIFA World Cup 2022 on Saturday, following a dramatic 1-0 loss to Morocco in the quarter-final match, Cristiano Ronaldo has given hints that he may retire from playing for his country’s national team.
Ronaldo was substituted in during the second half, but his introduction had no impact, and Portugal departed Qatar in disarray.
In what is almost certainly going to be his final run in the FIFA World Cup, Ronaldo cut an emotional figure as he walked straight down the tunnel in tears after seeing his dream come to an end.

After the unfortunate result, the striker sent a devastating statement on Instagram in which he intimated that he would withdraw from playing for his country in the future.
“Winning a World Cup for Portugal was the biggest and most ambitious dream of my career. Fortunately I won many titles of international dimension, including Portugal, but putting our country’s name on the highest foot in the World was my biggest dream.
“I fought for it. I fought hard for this dream. In the 5 appearances I scored in World Cups over 16 years, always by the side of great players and supported by millions of Portuguese, I gave my all. Leave it all out on the field. I never turned my face to the fight and I never gave up on that dream,” he wrote.
“Sadly yesterday the dream ended It’s not worth reacting to heat. I just want you all to know that much has been said, much has been written, much has been speculated, but my dedication to Portugal hasn’t changed for a moment. I was always one fighting for the objective of all and I would never turn my back on my colleagues and my country.
“For now, there’s not much more to say. Thank you, Portugal. Thank you, Qatar. The dream was beautiful while it lasted… Now, it’s time to be a good advisor and allow each one to draw their own conclusions.”
Ronaldo has been the focus of a lot of attention over the course of the last three weeks. As a result of his explosive interview with Piers Morgan, his time at Manchester United has come to an end, and he is currently without a club.
During the World Cup, he was not selected to play for Portugal in either of their final two matches against Switzerland or Morocco.
