This sentiment underscores his belief in the magnitude of his contributions and the trophies he has helped bring to the national team throughout his illustrious career. He emphasized that he leaves with a peaceful mind, satisfied with his personal performance and the legacy he has built.

While acknowledging the team's elimination and the debate surrounding his current role, Ronaldo remains proud of what he has accomplished for Portugal on the world stage. He alluded to the significant silverware secured during his tenure, suggesting that his presence and leadership were instrumental in achieving these milestones, which were absent in the nation's football history prior to his emergence.
