Cristiano Ronaldo has claimed his third trophy with the Portuguese national team after defeating Spain in the Nations League final via a penalty shootout. Following the match, he spoke candidly about his future.

Details: According to the Portuguese superstar, everyone knows his age, and he is now much closer to the end of his career than the beginning. Nevertheless, he is determined to keep playing.

Quote: "You know how old I am. Obviously, I am closer to the end than I was at the start, but I have to enjoy every moment. If I don't suffer a serious injury, I'll keep going," Ronaldo said after the match.

For the record, Cristiano also admitted that he felt discomfort before the game and took to the pitch carrying an injury. The issue has been bothering him for some time, but he was willing to play for his country.

The 40-year-old Cristiano leveled the score in the second half after a cross from Mendes, sending the match into extra time, but was unable to continue and left the field in the 88th minute.

For reference: This is the third major title in the history of the Portuguese national team and for Cristiano Ronaldo. He previously won the 2016 European Championship and two UEFA Nations League titles.
