Ouagadougou: Christiano Ronaldo (39 years old), Pépé (41 years old), Luka Modric (38 years old) are certainly at their last Euro, struck by age and having to give up their places in teams looking for renewal.For several big names in international football, the Euro served as a swan song. Cristiano Ronaldo has not announced the end of his career with the Portuguese selection but the five-time Ballon d'Or has clearly looked his age.At 39, he went through his 6th European Championship like a shadow (0 goals), failing in the quarter-finals against France (0-0 after, 5 tab to 3). His old friend Pepe (41 years old) was more effective in defense but it is difficult to imagine seeing him again in the Portuguese jersey. Like CR7, Luka Modric has not revealed his intentions for the post-Euro either but the Croatian playing master (38 years old), who extended a year with Real Madrid, sank in the 1st round within Croatian training which really needs to be renewed.The German Toni Kroos (34 years old) retired on a fr ustrating note and a quarter-final exit at home against Spain (2-1 ap) while Olivier Giroud (37 years old), top scorer in the history of the Blues (57 goals), said goodbye to the French team at the end of a Euro spent languishing in the shoes of a replacement.Source: Burkina Information Agency
