Revealed: Cristiano Ronaldo yet to make final decision on Portugal future as he reflects on nightmare Euro 2024 campaign

Portugal's journey at Euro 2024 came to a premature end in the quarter-finals <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/portugal-player-ratings-vs-france-euro-2024-cristiano-ronaldo-show-joao-felix/blt98b06e4aeb8b96fd" target="_blank">after a penalty shootout defeat to France</a>. This marked a challenging tournament for Ronaldo, who, at 39 years old, was expected to lead his team to greater heights. However, the Al-Nassr forward struggled to make an impact <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-torn-to-shreds-embarrassing-tears-missed-penalty-portugal-star-euro-2024-win-over-slovenia/blt636cd9671651f436" target="_blank">and failed to score at a major tournament</a> for the first time in his career.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Amidst the speculation of his potential retirement, <a href="https://www.record.pt/o-diario-de-cr7/detalhe/cristiano-ronaldo-deve-continuar-a-representar-a-selecao-nacional?ref=HP_1BucketDestaquesPrincipais" target="_blank">Record</a> have claimed that Ronaldo is yet to make a definitive decision about his international future.

He is believed to be carefully evaluating his performance in Germany - which saw him miss a penalty and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/will-one-in-60-cristiano-ronaldo-taken-off-free-kick-duty-portugal-roberto-martinez-bruno-fernandes-dilemma-euro-2024-quarter-final-france/blt04423eda518eb3c4" target="_blank">several free-kick attempts going wayward</a>.

DID YOU KNOW?

Portugal are set to face Croatia in the Nations League in early September, providing an opportunity for Ronaldo to potentially silence his critics and showcase his prowess once again. Furthermore, the team will begin its qualification campaign for the 2026 World Cup in March next year, which would be another significant milestone for Ronaldo if he decides to continue.
