Cristiano Ronaldo has not scored a goal except in the shootout. He could not score any goal even with 10 shots in five matches. This is the first time in his entire career that he has failed to score in a major international tournament.
He announced during the Euros that this is his last season. This time, after Portugal’s exit from the quarter-finals of the Euros after losing to France in a tiebreaker, rumors about CR Seven’s career have started. Many are now saying ‘goodbye’ to him on social media. Many say that the five-time Ballon d’Or winner may have played the last match not only in the Euro, but also in the country’s jersey. Is it really so?
Coach Roberto Martinez was also asked about this after the match. But he left the mystery. The Portugal coach said, “It’s a bit early to talk about it right after the match and no decisions have been made on a personal level.”
Ronaldo played the 212th match for Portugal on Friday. His 130 goals for the national team is still the highest in international football. Lionel Messi in two is far away! His goals are 108. But in the current Euro, Ronaldo could not shine like those golden days. No goals scored except in the shootout. He could not score any goal even with 10 shots in five matches. This is the first time in his entire career that he has failed to score in a major international tournament.
Portugal’s next match in the UEFA Nations League is on September 6, against Croatia. Cristiano Ronaldo can play this match if he does not retire from the national team before this.
