Posted Updated (13 min ago)

Cristiano Ronaldo, 41, has announced he is retiring from international football and will not play for Portugal again. The BBC, Al Jazeera, France 24, Deutsche Welle, CBS News and Fox News all report it.

Fox News reports he is stepping away after 234 appearances for Portugal. It describes a five-minute video in which he names an image he says he will carry forever. The report does not say what the image is.

Al Jazeera reports he made the announcement in a social media post, saying he will "hand back the number 7 shirt."

CBS News says his Portugal career spanned six World Cups. It says he won a European title and holds the men's all-time international scoring record.

Deutsche Welle reports the announcement came weeks after a public spat between Ronaldo and Portugal coach Jorge Jesus over playing time. None of the other outlets mention the dispute. No report says Ronaldo gave it as his reason for retiring.
