Ronaldo's last dance could come at stadium where it all began

As the FIFA World Cup concluded on Monday (as per BST) with Spain defeating Argentina to lift the trophy, speculation has intensified over the international future of Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo, with reports suggesting the veteran forward is preparing to retire from international football after an extraordinary 23-year career, according to Gulf News.

Portugal's World Cup campaign ended in the Round of 16 following a 1-0 defeat to eventual champions Spain. Ahead of that match, the 41-year-old had hinted that the tournament would be his last on the biggest stage.

"Let this be my last World Cup; it is my last World Cup, and I hope tomorrow won't be my last match," Ronaldo had said.
