“I will decide, period”: Cristiano Ronaldo on questions about retirement

By Aman Shukla

Portugal will take on North Macedonia in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification playoff final on Tuesday night and it is a defining moment for the team’s talismanic striker and captain Cristiano Ronaldo. The goal-machine is as of now 37 years old and not qualifying for the event in Qatar could be a blow to him.

“I’m starting to be asked the same question. The one who is going to decide my future is me, nobody else. If I feel like playing more, I’ll play, if I don’t feel like playing more, I won’t. I’ll decide, period,” as quoted by ESPN.

Talking about the importance of the game against North Macedonia, Ronaldo said it was a matter of life and death.

“The team is quite confident, I feel all the players are ready,” Ronaldo told a press conference on Monday.
