The goal proved to be only a consolation, but it marked the final act of his

Ronaldo focuses on World Cup as retirement talks pause Cristiano Ronaldo has moved to end speculation surrounding his international future after Portugal’s dramatic victory over Croatia in the knockout stage of the FIFA World Cup 2026. Reports had emerged suggesting that the veteran forward could retire from international football after the tournament, following comments linked to his family. However, Ronaldo clarified that no final decision has been taken and his focus remains entirely on Portugal’s ongoing campaign. The 41-year-old forward stated that he will not make any emotional decision during the tournament and will only evaluate his future once Portugal’s World Cup journey is complete. His response came after intense media speculation, especially as Portugal continue to progress in the knockout rounds. The clarification helped shift attention back to football rather than retirement discussions, which had dominated headlines before the match. Ronaldo also created history during the match by becoming the oldest player to score in a World Cup knockout fixture at 41 years and 147 days. His 67th-minute penalty, awarded after a VAR review, brought Portugal level after Croatia had taken the lead. The goal once again highlighted his ability to perform in high-pressure moments, even in the later stages of his career. Portugal survive Croatia in a tense knockout battle The match itself delivered high drama as Portugal defeated Croatia 2-1 in a tightly contested encounter. Croatia initially took control through an early breakthrough, putting Portugal under pressure for long stretches of the match. However, Ronaldo’s equaliser from the penalty spot changed the momentum after a VAR intervention confirmed the foul inside the box. Portugal continued to push in the final stages, eventually finding the winning goal through Gonçalo Ramos in stoppage time. The result secured Portugal’s place in the Round of 16 and kept their tournament hopes alive. The match also carried emotional weight as it could mark one of Luka Modric’s final appearances at the World Cup, adding significance to an already intense knockout fixture. For now, however, the focus remains on Portugal’s progress—and Ronaldo’s future will only be decided once the tournament concludes.
