Ronaldo says he gave his all in final World Cup appearance

Lisbon, July 7 – After Portugal’s exit from the 2024 World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo reflected on his last tournament, stating that he left the field having “given his complete effort.” The veteran forward, now 41, has competed in six World Cups, amassing 27 caps and 11 goals, a record that places him second only to Lionel Messi’s 30 matches. He became the first player ever to score in six different World Cups and added three goals in Qatar, including a decisive penalty against Croatia that sent Portugal to the round of 16. In the press conference, Ronaldo described the defeat as “sad” but affirmed he has no regrets and will now focus on family life and future decisions.
