Cristiano Ronaldo's extraordinary Portugal career is approaching its final chapter.
The 41-year-old has confirmed his retirement from international football, with November set to bring his final appearances for the national team.
Ronaldo will leave behind a record of 234 caps and 146 goals for Portugal, making him the most-capped player and leading scorer in men's international football.
Euro glory and two Nations League titles
His legacy with Portugal extends well beyond individual records.
Ronaldo captained his country to Euro 2016, Portugal's landmark triumph on the European stage.
That was followed by further international success. Portugal won the inaugural Nations League in 2019 before lifting the trophy again in 2025.
One European Championship and two Nations League titles will form a major part of Ronaldo's Portugal legacy, alongside the scoring and appearance records accumulated across more than two decades.
The final chapter of Portugal's No.7
The No.7 shirt has become inseparable from Ronaldo's international career.
After wearing it for Portugal for more than 20 years, Ronaldo is preparing to bring one of the defining chapters of his career to a close.
November will mark the end of an era for Portugal and the final international appearances of their long-time captain.
