Cristiano Ronaldo to Meet Portugal Coach After 18-Year Unused-Substitute First

Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to meet Portugal coach Jorge Jesus and football federation president Pedro Proenca after remaining on the bench throughout Portugal’s 2-1 Nations League win over Norway. It was reportedly the first time in 18 years that the 41-year-old had been named in Portugal’s matchday squad but did not play. Goncalo Ramos started up front and was replaced by Francisco Trincao late in the game instead of Ronaldo. Ronaldo recently said he still believes he can help Portugal on and off the pitch. The country’s all-time leading scorer has 146 international goals and 979 career goals.
