The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has already confirmed the tournament was his last World Cup, but speculation is growing that his final appearance for his country could arrive in a setting filled with personal meaning. After more than two decades representing Portugal, Ronaldo’s relationship with the national team has become one of the greatest stories in soccer history. Now, as fans wait for his next decision, a possible farewell moment is gaining attention because of its emotional connection to where his international adventure began. Ronaldo’s Portugal story could come full circle Ronaldo’s senior Portugal career started in a low-profile friendly against Kazakhstan on August 20, 2003. Few could have imagined that the teenage talent from Madeira would eventually become the most capped player and highest-scoring international player in history. The match took place in Chaves, northern Portugal, in front of only around 8,000 supporters. Two decades later, Ronaldo has transformed himself into a global icon, becoming the face of Portuguese soccer and helping change how the country sees itself on the international stage.

The coach also described the legend as a symbol of Portuguese soccer and insisted that the forward would never become a problem for the national team. “Cris is a symbol of Portuguese football.
