Cristiano Ronaldo has announced his retirement from the Portugal national team after a 23-year international career. The decision comes weeks after the forward walked out on the squad during a recent international break.
The 41-year-old made his senior debut for Portugal in 2003 and went on to become the nation's most capped player and all-time leading scorer. He captained the side to victory at Euro 2016 and the 2019 Nations League.
Ronaldo's departure marks the end of an era for Portuguese football. The Portuguese Football Federation has not yet issued an official statement on the matter.
