Cristiano Ronaldo has said he is not retiring from international football, while also accepting that he deserves punishment for walking out on Portugal.
The forward described his departure from the team as a breach of the coach’s trust. His comments indicate that, despite the dispute, he still intends to remain available for international duty.
Ronaldo did not say that he was ending his Portugal career. Instead, he acknowledged the seriousness of his actions and said he should face consequences for leaving the team.
The situation leaves Ronaldo’s future with Portugal unchanged for now: he says he wants to continue representing the national side, but accepts that disciplinary action may follow the incident. No further details of any punishment were provided in the supplied material.
