Cristiano Ronaldo said Portugal’s Euro 2016 victory holds the same value to him as winning the World Cup, after his team was eliminated from the 2026 tournament. Portugal lost 1–0 to Spain in the round of 16 at Dallas Stadium, ending Ronaldo’s World Cup journey. The 41-year-old forward had limited impact in the match, managing only one notable shot before Spain’s Mikel Merino sealed the result in stoppage time.
Speaking in the mixed zone after the match, Ronaldo reflected on his international career, highlighting Portugal’s three major titles under his leadership: the 2016 Euro, the 2019 UEFA Nations League, and the 2025 UEFA Nations League. He said these achievements transformed the country’s football history and expressed satisfaction for giving his all to the national team.
Ronaldo did not confirm whether this was his final match for Portugal, saying he would not make emotional decisions and that his future in the national team was not the most important issue at the moment.
