Cristiano Ronaldo makes retirement hint after record Portugal win

Cristiano Ronaldo discussed the timeline around his potential retirement after setting a new record for most international wins in men's football on Friday.

Portugal thrashed Poland 5-1 with their talisman scoring twice, including an acrobatic bicycle kick, to seal a UEFA Nations League quarterfinals spot for the Iberian nation.

It marked Ronaldo's 132nd win in internationals, moving him past his former Real Madrid teammate Sergio Ramos, who racked up 131 with Spain.

Speaking to reporters after the game, the 39-year-old Ronaldo insisted his focus remains on enjoying his football despite the looming spectre of retirement.
