Geneva: Cristiano Ronaldo has extended his record-setting Portugal career so long he’s seeing a new generation of Spain players grow up to rule international soccer.
"When I will feel like I’m not adding anymore, I’ll be the first to leave,” the 39-year-old Ronaldo said late Monday ahead of national team soccer resuming in Europe this week.
"(My motivation) is to come to the national team and to win the Nations League.”
Portugal and Spain both play on Thursday to start a new UEFA Nations League less than two months after the European Championship final in Germany.
Though Ronaldo has captained Portugal to win past editions of both competitions - the 2019 Nations League and Euro 2016 - Spain now holds both trophies sparked by an exciting wave of talent.
