Cristiano Ronaldo continues to accumulate records with Portugal. The Al Nassr player traveled to his native country during this FIFA International Break after a good time with the Saudi League team. Coach Roberto Martinez has full confidence in the player and has been summoned again to face important commitments with the team that qualified for Euro 2024.

Despite Al Nassr not having their best start to the season, the team was able to recover from the poor run and qualify for the AFC Champions League at the last minute. Given this, the team so far has not known defeat and this arouses a lot of interest in the player's fans internationally. Even though Al Nassr is not the most popular team in Saudi Arabia, fans still recognize the team because of the Portuguese.

Similarly, the Riyadh team has yet to lead the Saudi Pro League. At the moment, the competition in the league has increased considerably due to the talents that have gradually been arriving in the Middle Eastern country. Only Ronaldo's team has talents such as Sadio Mane, Marcelo Brozovic, Aymerick Laporte, among others. In turn, teams like Al Hilal have Neymar among their ranks.

On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo has become a decisive player with Portugal, which is why he continues to be called up despite being 38 years old. With the years passing, it seems that the former Real Madrid player at the moment is not thinking about retirement. According to international media, the same player told the team that he wants to continue playing until 2026.

Ronaldo's impact in Portugal

According to official statistics, before 2004, Portugal had only qualified for 3 Euros and 3 World Cups. Since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo to the Portugal National team,  the Portuguese team has qualified to 6 euros and 5 World Cups consecutively. This represents a great achievement for the country's talent, which has benefited from the presence of Ronaldo. Without a doubt, a great positive achievement for the player
