Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that he will retire from international football when he feels heโs not capable to run, dribble, and shoot any longer with his legs.
The Portugal captain, 36, became the all-time top scorer in international football last month.
Ronaldo who lifted the Euro trophy in 2016 โ is hungry for more ahead of the 2022 World Cup held in Qatar in December next year.
Quizzed by Sky Sports on international retirement, he said: โBut why? I think itโs not my time yet. Itโs not what people want, itโs what I want.
โItโs when I feel that Iโm not capable to run, to dribble, to shoot, if the power is goneโฆ but I still have that stuff so I want to continue because Iโm still motivated.
โItโs the main word [motivated] to do my stuff, to make people happy and my family happy and the fans and myself. I want to put the level even higher.
โYou speak about Portugal but in the Champions League I have the most goals, the most wins, assistsโฆ everything.
โBut I want to carry on. I like to play football. I feel good to make people happy.โ
