The 39-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo was once the leading goalscorer in the history of the European Championships, but now he can no longer show the style of the past. However, even if he can't stay at his peak, Ronaldo still walks to the end of his career in his own way, with the demeanor of a great athlete. As the classic saying goes, "There are no eternal heroes, only eternal legends."
After six European Championships, Ronaldo won one championship and one runner-up, becoming one of the greatest players in the history of the Portuguese team. But as he gets older, his goalscoring ability is not as good as it used to be.
At this European Championship, he failed to score in nine consecutive World Series games, and his last performance was forced to end early. Despite this, Ronaldo still left the field indifferently with the demeanor he deserved, comforting his weeping teammates, fully demonstrating the demeanor of a legendary star.
Since the 2022 Qatar World Cup, Ronaldo's form has gradually declined. In five games in this European Championship, although he has one assist, the number of goals still stopped at the previous record.
This undoubtedly marks that Ronaldo's peak has passed, and he has finally ushered in the end of his career. However, even if he can't set a new record of his own, Ronaldo still writes his own legendary life in his own unique way.
At the moment of elimination, Ronaldo's performance was more elegant and calm. Instead of crying like last time, he calmly comforted his teammate Pepe, who was also crying. This undoubtedly shows Ronaldo's maturity and indifference in the final chapter of his career. Even if he can't dominate the game as before, Ronaldo still uses his own way to write a perfect curtain call for a legendary star.
As the classic saying goes, "There are no eternal heroes, only eternal legends." Cristiano Ronaldo's career may have come to an end, but his footprints and achievements will forever be etched in the history of football. No matter what the future holds, Cristiano Ronaldo will be an eternal legend, and the memories he left behind at the European Championship will surely become the eternal memories and aspirations of football fans in Portugal and around the world.
As the saying goes, "a hero is not a brilliant life, but an elegance at the end". Although Ronaldo's career is in the twilight of his life, he still writes his own beautiful chapter with the demeanor of a legendary star. His performances at this tournament have undoubtedly confirmed this once again.
Even if it is difficult to reproduce the goal miracle of the year, Ronaldo did not blindly pursue personal glory. Instead, he faced the game and the final chapter of his career with a more mature and steady attitude. At the critical moment of elimination, he did not fall into sadness, but took the initiative to comfort his teammates who were also crying. This act of care and grandeur has undoubtedly drawn a perfect end to the great star's career.
We all know that Cristiano Ronaldo was one of the best goalscorers on the football pitch. But as he gets older, his state gradually declines. In this European Championship, he failed to score in nine consecutive games, losing his prestigious status as the goal king. However, even if he can't continue the glory of the year, Ronaldo still uses his own unique way to interpret the style of a legendary star.
It is often said that "there are no eternal heroes, only eternal legends". This sentence is the best footnote to Ronaldo's career. Although he was unable to set a new goal record at this European Championship, his footprints and achievements will forever be etched in the history of football. From the runner-up in 2004 to the championship in 2016, and then to the safe farewell to this European Cup, Ronaldo's career is undoubtedly a tortuous and wonderful legend.
We believe that even if this European Championship is Ronaldo's last international competition, he will continue to write his own magnificent chapter in his own unique way in the future. Regardless of his form, Cristiano Ronaldo will always be one of the greatest legends in football, and his light will always shine on the football world.
