There were talks around  if it was to be Ronaldo's final tournament for Portugal at the age of 39, while Pepe announced his retirement from football.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner was speaking about his future with the national team this week.

"When I quit the national team, I won't tell anyone in advance... At the moment what I want is to be able to help the Selecao," Ronaldo said in an interview with Portuguese TV.
