Cristiano Ronaldo has another motivation that will keep him in football for more time.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal have been knocked out of the EUROS after losing 5-3 on penalties against France in the quarterfinals. The match ended 0-0 after 120 minutes, and the Portuguese striker failed to score a goal in a major tournament for the first time in his career. He scored in every major tournament, starting with the 2004 EURO.

Ronaldo mentioned that EURO 2024 would be the last European Championship of his career, and now many wonder if he will be able to play in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Portuguese star will aim to make it in time for the World Cup, and a new motivation will be able to see him reach that tournament. According to Abola, Cristiano Ronaldo does not wish to retire at the moment. His big ambition is to play an official match with his son Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, aged 14. Ronaldo’s son also wants to play with his father, and the goal seems very difficult for football fans to believe since the Al Nassr striker will be 40 next year.

Ronaldo’s son is playing with Al Nassr’s youth team. The Portuguese striker has told his son to play in the youth teams of the clubs he has played for, and the boy is on a mission to become a professional football player like his father. A realistic age for Ronaldo Jr. to play with his father is at the age of 16. Lamine Yamal is a rare example of a 16-year-old playing at one of the highest levels of football. Yamal is playing in the EUROS with Spain.

Ronaldo Jr. has shown some promise on Al Nassr’s youth team as he won the youth league with the team earlier this year. He was the captain of the team, and he lifted the trophy with the rest of the team.

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. trains for next season

Ronaldo believes in playing an official match with his son because Ronaldo Jr. has been training intensely during the summer ahead of next summer. The youngster has a personal trainer and has been training on his own while his father was at the EUROS with Portugal.
