Legendary soccer star Cristiano Ronald0 said Tuesday that this year's European Championship will be the final one of his career.

Ronald confirmed his Euro future in an interview with Portugal TV's RTP (h/t ESPN's Adriana Garcia), saying:

"Without a doubt it's the last Euro [for me], of course it is.

"But I'm not emotional about that. I'm moved by everything that football entails, by the enthusiasm I have for the game, the enthusiasm I see in the fans, having my family here, people's passion... it's not about leaving the world of football. What else is there for me to do or win?"

The 39-year-old veteran, who is playing in a record sixth career European Championship, has helped Portugal reach the quarterfinals of Euro 2024.
