Ronaldo Exits World Cup, Reflects on Legacy

Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup career concluded with Portugal's round of 16 defeat to Spain, marking the end of an era for the 38-year-old forward.

Cristiano Ronaldo's sixth and final World Cup appearance ended in disappointment as Portugal fell 0-1 to Spain in the round of 16. The 38-year-old forward, who debuted for Portugal 23 years ago, scored 8 goals in this tournament but couldn't prevent his team's elimination.

'I gave everything, I gave my maximum and I leave with a clear conscience,' Ronaldo stated. 'This was my last World Cup, but now I will have time to reflect and be with my family. I won't make hasty decisions.' The three-time major title winner noted that before him, Portugal had never won any major international trophies. slot-chickenroad.org
