Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson has made a bold claim stating that Cristiano Ronaldo will quit playing for Portugal after Euro 2024.
Ronaldo has been in middling form with his team at the Euros, failing to score in open play.
He did score a goal in a penalty shootout victory over Slovenia in the last 16, but missed a penalty during full-time.
“I can’t imagine that (he’ll play in 2026),” Ferguson told SportBild in Germany, as per Metro.
“Football will become even faster and more athletic in the coming years. In addition, the space for central strikers will become increasingly smaller.
“In contrast to defenders, it is more difficult for strikers to play at the highest level when they are older.”
“One or two more titles would not mean much to him,” Ferguson added.
“Because he has had a unique career.”
