5 min readUpdated: Jun 2, 2026 01:18 PM IST Cristiano Ronaldo posted a photo with Georgina Rodríguez and their five children on Sunday, the caption simple: “Happy to be back home with my family.” By Monday morning he was at the City of Football in Oeiras, leading the opening training session with his usual run, the first lap of what Portugal hopes will be the longest journey in their history. He is 41. This is his sixth World Cup. It is, by any reasonable reading, his last. Portugal’s newspaper A Bola has put together numbers that tell their own story. Among all outfield players at this tournament, Ronaldo is the oldest. He has more international caps than anyone else here – 226. He has scored more international goals than anyone else – 143, against Messi’s 116. At 41 years and almost four months, he is still the central fact of this Portugal squad.
