Cristiano Ronaldo continues to make history in the 2026 World Cup, becoming the oldest player to participate in a knockout match in the tournament's history.
The Portugal captain played against Croatia in the Round of 32 at the age of 41 years and 147 days, making him the oldest outfield player to compete in a World Cup knockout match.
This historic achievement comes amid growing speculation about the nearing end of Ronaldo's international career, especially after comments from his sister, Katia Aveiro, suggesting that this World Cup may be his last in a Portugal shirt.
Ronaldo hopes to lead his country further in the tournament, having already scored two goals in the current edition.
