Cristiano Ronaldo announces his retirement plans and confirms this will be his final European Championship

Cristiano Ronaldo has shared his vision for his future in international football, stating that this will be his final European Championship. The Portugal star, now 39, is participating in his sixth Euros and 11th major tournament, having won the competition in 2016. On Monday, he was moved to tears after Slovenia's Jan Oblak saved his penalty, but he later scored in the shoot-out. Despite his age and 1,266 career matches, Ronaldo's passion remains strong. He emphasized that his emotions are tied to the love of the game, his fans, and family, not the prospect of leaving football. For Ronaldo, making people happy is his main motivation, not achieving more points or victories.
