Portugal vs Spain: What’s been said?
At the age of 37, Ronaldo is most likely coming to the end of his international career but he seems to expect to still be a part of Fernando Santos’ team in 2024.
He said: “I’m in a national team with a lot of young players with extraordinary futures.
“Diogo (Dalot) often jokes with me: 'Man, you played with everyone; you must be ancient'.
“Obviously, I still want to be a part of it, at the World Cup — and at the Euro as well, I can admit that already.
“I am happy. I confess that I was missing the feeling of receiving a prize!”
