Cristiano Ronaldo Leaves Portugal Camp After Being Benched
Cristiano Ronaldo has left Portugal's national-team camp after being left unused in the side's UEFA Nations League win over Norway. The Portugal captain said he made the decision after speaking with Portuguese Football Federation president Pedro Proença. He said he would explain the reasons for his departure to Portuguese supporters at a later time. Coach Jorge Jesus had dismissed reports of a disagreement between himself and Ronaldo. The forward will now miss Portugal's upcoming Nations League match against Denmark. The development has revived memories of the 2022 World Cup, when Ronaldo was dropped from Portugal's starting line-up for key knockout matches.
