Cristiano Ronaldo has ruled out making an immediate decision on his international future after Portugal's dramatic 2-1 victory over Croatia in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32. The 41-year-old responded to retirement speculation sparked by comments from his sister, saying he will decide only after Portugal's World Cup campaign ends. Ronaldo scored the equalising penalty following a VAR review and became the oldest player to score in a FIFA World Cup knockout match. He was named Player of the Match as Portugal advanced to the Round of 16, where they will face Spain in a highly anticipated Iberian clash. (PC: X)
