No one can predict exactly when the international career of Cristiano Ronaldo, 39 years old, including 22 as a professional player, will end. But the five-time Ballon d’Or, who sees the end approaching, is playing in Aveiro this Tuesday what could be his last match in the Portuguese jersey on home soil: the final meeting in the Seleçao’s preparation for Euro 2024 against Ireland (8:45 p.m.).
While he was not in the group during the victory against Finland (4-2), last Tuesday, then on the bench during the defeat against Croatia (1-2), the Portuguese captain should this time being offered some playing time by his coach Roberto Martinez. For his team, in a crisis of confidence, the challenge will be to start a positive spiral, while his group at the Euro (Czech Republic, Turkey, Georgia) appears affordable.
The friendly match between Portugal and Ireland will be followed this Tuesday, June 11 at 8:45 p.m. on the L’Équipe live website or during the L’Équipe channel multiplex.
