EURO 2024 is the 17th tournament, many stars of European football in particular and the world in general will have their last participation in their careers. Among the stars, Cristiano Ronaldo is the player receiving attention even though he has not talked about the possibility of retiring from the team. Even the Portuguese superstar is confident and wants to attend the 2026 World Cup.

Ronaldo is an important player in Portugal’s squad that won EURO 2016 in France. Even at the age of 39, Ronaldo is still an important player in Portugal’s squad at EURO 2024. However, being able to participate in EURO 2028 is very unlikely because at that time this player will be 43 years old. .

Meanwhile, German midfielder Toni Kroos also had his last EURO period with the German team. The Real Madrid midfielder confirmed that he will retire after EURO 2024. During his career, the EURO championship is the only major title that Kroos has not achieved even though he has appeared in 3 editions.

In addition, Kroos’ teammate at Real Madrid, Luka Modric, is also heading to the final major tournament this summer. Luka Modric is Croatia’s most valuable player at EURO 2024. The 38-year-old midfielder made great contributions to the national team when Croatia finished in a historic second place at the 2018 World Cup.

In addition, other midfielders such as N’Golo Kante, Jorginho, and Kevin De Bruyne will also play their final EURO, while defender Virgil van Dijk can retire from the Netherlands national team even though it is his first EURO appearance. Among these, Kevin De Bruyne is a notable star when playing impressively for Man City. Currently, the Belgian international has turned 33. This could be the last European Championship in the creative midfielder’s career.
