Cristiano Ronaldo and his team, Portugal, have unfortunately been eliminated from Euro 2024. Ronaldo, who has been quiet since their heartbreaking exit, has finally spoken out about their defeat. This was his sixth and final European Championship, and he had high hopes of bringing home another trophy. However, those hopes were crushed on Friday night when they were defeated by France.
The game between Portugal and France was a tense and close one, with neither team able to score a goal in 120 minutes of play. In the end, France emerged victorious in the penalty shootout. Although Ronaldo did manage to score in the shootout, he leaves Euro 2024 without scoring in open play. The 39-year-old, who now plays in Saudi Arabia, expressed his disappointment in an Instagram post, stating that they deserved more for themselves and for their fans.
Ronaldo also acknowledged the support and achievements of his team and expressed gratitude for their efforts. He believes that their legacy will continue to be built, both on and off the field. It is uncertain if he will retire from international football after this tournament, but his manager Roberto Martinez said it was too soon to discuss his future with the national team. Right now, the team is still dealing with the raw emotions of their defeat and no individual decisions have been made.
Despite their loss, Martinez praised his team for their performance against France. He believes that they showed determination and a strong desire to win for their fans. Even in defeat, the team played with pride, which is a hallmark of Portuguese football. The experience gained from this tournament will only help them grow and improve in the future. Martinez was particularly impressed with their personality, chances created, and danger posed in the final third. He looks forward to the future with pride and optimism for the Portuguese team.
