Ronaldo's Sister: This is Cristiano's Last Dance, Farewell is Coming Soon

Cristiano Ronaldo's sister, Katia Aveiro, has hinted that the 2026 World Cup will be her brother's final tournament with the national team, suggesting his retirement from football is imminent. Her comments came ahead of Portugal's Round of 16 clash against Croatia at the World Cup.

"Based on the information I have, you can start saying goodbye to him because I think we are almost at the end of his career. So, enjoy him. I don't think the farewell will happen today, but it will happen soon. I firmly believe we are in the farewell phase, so enjoy him immensely, as it will be hard to find another like him. But, yes, first he needs to score 1000 goals. And no, I'm not just talking about the national team. My information comes from a reliable source, and this is Cristiano's last dance."

"Anyone who truly understands and loves this sport should support Cristiano. Anyone who doesn't love Cristiano doesn't love football. Those people are the losers in this scenario. Does all of this hurt us? Ronaldo has worked hard for 20 years. We have experienced and achieved so much. Look at where the Aveiro family started and where we are now," Cristiano's sister told Portuguese Sport TV.
