The Portuguese football icon faced criticism after failing to score during another European Championship campaign, including a missed penalty in the last-16 match against Slovenia that left the 39-year-old forward emotional.
Despite suggestions that he should retire from international football, even though he dreams of playing in the 2026 World Cup, Ronaldo has shattered numerous records and continues to compete for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League.
Known for his resilience, Ronaldo is taking time during a summer break with partner Georgina and their five children to consider his future options, often seen on the beach enjoying the evening sunsets.
While he hasn’t hinted at stepping down from Portugal’s national team, where he recently captained them in another major tournament, his impressive tally of 50 goals for Al-Nassr in the 2023-24 season indicates he remains far from retirement.
