Has Cristiano Ronaldo ended his career with the Portuguese national team?
The 41-year-old footballer has left the national team's camp, which is scheduled to play Denmark in the Nations League in Copenhagen today.
It all started after Portugal's match against Norway last Saturday, where Cristiano did not play and was visibly unhappy about it. Moreover, the Portuguese won away 2:1.
Cristiano, who has been playing for the national team since 2003 (23 years!), couldn't hold back and left the team's camp, making a sharp statement.
The head coach of the Portuguese national team, Jorge Jesus, and the head of the Portuguese Football Federation, Pedro Proença, tried to dissuade CR from leaving the national team's camp.
Unlike Lionel Messi, who decided to end his career after the World Cup, Cristiano made no such statements, saying he would still like to help the national team.
After being called up to the national team, Ronaldo emphasized that he was joining not necessarily for playing time: "I'm here to help. It doesn't matter if I play or not. I'm just one of many. It's always been this way — and it will continue to be. I repeat, I will do whatever the coach asks."
Now Cristiano might make a sharp statement about ending his international career.
The Portuguese still have to play Norway at home in the Nations League on Sunday, and then two more matches in November.
The situation with CR is also interesting because he is chasing the all-time record of 1000 career goals (Messi has 930 goals, Pelé had 766).
Currently, Cristiano Ronaldo has 979 goals, and he consistently scores for Saudi Al-Nassr, but he also scored for the national team.
