UNL: Zidane sends message to Portugal over Cristiano Ronaldo
- Following an alleged disagreement with head coach Jorge Jesus, veteran Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo left the Portugal national team camp. Former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane defended the 41-year striker during a press conference, urging respect for his career.
- Ronaldo returned to the National Team under Jesus following management changes after the FIFA World Cup 2026. His exit occurred before the UEFA Nations League victory against Denmark, marking a sudden departure.
- With Zidane as coach, Real Madrid won three consecutive UEFA Champions League titles with Ronaldo. "I was lucky to have him with me," the French head coach said, praising his former player's significant influence.
- Braga president Antonio Salvador criticized the veteran's actions, questioning the justification for leaving the National Team midway. Salvador called the Portuguese legend the "best player ever" but noted his exit was not a "well-considered attitude."
- Portugal's concluding Nations League match against Norway will proceed today without the forward. Zidane maintains that such accomplishments warrant appropriate recognition, regardless of the controversies surrounding the veteran's international career.
