Story summary

On November 5, 2026, Cristiano Ronaldo announced his retirement from the Portugal national team via social media. The 41-year-old football legend, who has been playing internationally since 2003, scored an unprecedented 146 goals in 234 games, making him the all-time leading scorer in men’s international football history. Ronaldo's decision followed a recent controversy where he walked out of Portugal's training camp after being told he would not start against Norway and subsequently wouldn't feature against Denmark in the UEFA Nations League. His retirement ends a career that included winning the European Championship title in 2016, two UEFA Nations League titles (in 2019 and 2025), and participation in six World Cups.
