Cristiano Ronaldo has retired from international football, ending 23 years in a Portugal shirt.
The 41-year-old announced his decision in an emotional video message.
His career with Portugal took in six World Cup appearances, a European Championship title and 146 goals, the most anyone has scored in men's international football.
He also leaves with 234 appearances, more than any other man has made for his country.
Ronaldo is not stepping away from the game altogether. He will keep playing for his club, Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, until the end of the season.
Has Ronaldo retired from football? Not from club football. He has retired from the Portugal national team, but he remains an Al-Nassr player until the season ends.
