Ronaldo bids farewell to Portugal, Wales match expected to be his last with the

Cristiano Ronaldo could be close to ending one of the most important chapters of his career. According to Goal.com, the Portuguese forward is planning to call time on his international career after the match against Wales, which is scheduled to take place on September 24 at the José Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon.

The choice of this stadium also has symbolic value for the 41-year-old. It was there that he began his journey as a footballer with Sporting Lisbon, before building a career that placed him among the biggest names in football history.

Ronaldo's possible departure would coincide with the start of a new cycle for the Portuguese national team, now under the leadership of coach Jorge Jesus. However, the coach has made it clear that he does not intend to revolutionize the team immediately, emphasizing that the changes will be gradual.

If the decision is confirmed, Ronaldo will end his international career with an impressive record. He has played 233 games for Portugal and scored 146 goals, statistics that keep him at the top of the world rankings for the player with the most appearances and goals at international level.

His farewell would mark the end of an era for Portuguese and international football, after more than two decades at the game's elite.
