Jamaican sprint legend Usain Bolt has congratulated Cristiano Ronaldo following the Portuguese football star's retirement from international football, bringing an end to his 23-year career with the national team.
Bolt shared a message on social media, saying, “Congratulations on your retirement from international football. You made us all fans.” He also posted a photograph of the two sporting icons together during a visit to Spanish newspaper Marca's newsroom in 2009.
Ronaldo, 41, announced his decision on November 5, ending a remarkable international career that began in August 2003. He made a record 234 appearances for Portugal and scored 146 goals, both men's international records.
