From the source

Cristiano Ronaldo has announced his retirement from international football, prompting an outpouring of admiration. The game will never see a player quite like Cristiano Ronaldo.

Signed by United as a tricky winger in 2003, Ronaldo evolved into the game’s most prolific goalscorer of all time. Ronaldo is the all time international record scorer and the all time Champions League record scorer.

At 41, he has now retired from international football with Portugal, with current United star Bruno Fernandes paying tribute. Now his close United pals Nani and Anderson have both issued messages to show admiration for their former teammate, who they won the Champions League alongside in 2007/08.
