Cristiano Ronaldo weighed ending his Portugal career after the World Cup and acknowledged Wednesday some critics at home want him out of the team.

Cristiano Ronaldo revealed that reaching 1,000 career goals and winning another Nations League title with Portugal are his main targets before retirement. Speaking ahead of his 234th international appearance against Wales, the 41-year-old admitted he considered international retirement following Portugal's World Cup exit against Spain before deciding to continue under head coach Jorge Jesus.
Ronaldo stated he held discussions with the federation president and Jesus, who previously managed him at Al-Nassr, concluding he can still contribute to the squad. While acknowledging criticism from some Portuguese media outlets, Ronaldo reiterated his commitment to scoring goals, winning games, and serving as a positive role model.
