Global football star Cristiano Ronaldo has abruptly announced his retirement from the Portuguese national team.
This comes a month after he left the national team following a conflict with the manager.
Ronaldo officially announced his retirement from the national team through a video posted on his social media.
In the video, he looked back on his glorious moments, ranging from his childhood to his recent performances with the national team.
[Ronaldo : Today, I am bringing my journey with the Portugal national team to an end. I have given everything for the national team. Thank you for believing in me over the past 23 years.]
Making his national team debut in 2003 at the age of 18, Ronaldo played for the Portuguese national team for 23 years, making a record 234 international appearances and scoring 146 goals, while leading the team to victory in the European Championship and two UEFA Nations Leagues.
During the international match period in September, after manager Jesus left him out of the starting lineup, he left the national team without authorization and ultimately announced a shock retirement just a month later.
