Ronaldo makes emotional farewell appearance for Brazil against Romania

[@thebeautifulgame2022]

Ronaldo's career with Brazil's national team has come to an emotional end with a brief appearance in a friendly against Romania. He came on in the 30th minute and played until half-time, when there was a ceremony to mark his 18-year career. The 34-year-old retired in February having represented Brazil in four World Cups - picking up two winner's medals of them - and remains the competition's all-time leading scorer with 15 goals. He could not mark his farewell appearance with a goal but one of his successors in the national side, Fred, sealed the 1-0 win in Sao Paolo. Ronaldo had a couple of opportunities but could not match Fred's precision, after the latter scored in the 21st minute. He told the crowd: "I had chances to score. Sorry for not finishing them correctly. Thanks to all of you for what you did in my career. When I cried, you cried with me. When I smiled, you smiled with me. See you soon, but on the sidelines this time. I'm very proud of being Brazilian."
