Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed this year's European Championship will be the last of his career.

The Portugal superstar, who is 39, is playing at the Euros for a record sixth time and has helped his country reach the

quarterfinals — where Kylian Mbappé and France await in Hamburg on Friday.

Speaking to Portuguese public broadcaster RTP after the penalty-shootout victory over Slovenia on Monday, Ronaldo said:

“It is, without doubt, my last European 토토 Championship.

“But I’m not emotional about that. I’m moved by all that football means — by the enthusiasm I have for the game, the

enthusiasm for seeing my supporters, my family, the affection people have for me."

Ronaldo, who is one of the most prolific scorers in soccer history and has a record 14 goals at European Championships,

said his main motivation now was “making people happy.” He was reduced to tears during the Slovenia game after having

a penalty saved in extra time.

“It’s not about leaving the world of football," he said. “What else is there for me to do or win? It’s not going to come down

to one point more or one point less.
