CR7 was an unused substitute in Portugal's 2-1 away win against Norway
Rare photos showed a petulant Ronaldo heading to the dressing room immediately after the final whistle, signalling a rift with the selecao coach, Jorge Jesus

After the National Team Coach's press conference, and following a conversation with the President of the Portuguese Football Federation, I made the decision to leave the National Team camp.

In due time, I will tell the truth to all Portuguese people about the reasons that motivated my departure from the national team, to which I have always dedicated myself.

Now is the time to wish good luck to Portugal and to all my teammates, without exception.

Cristiano Ronaldo

🚨🇵🇹 Cristiano Ronaldo has left the national team camp. Our preparations for the next games continue with our 24 players with maximum focus on the results”.

I have backed you for over 2 decades but you see this one, CR7 get out of the team, petulant child.

Ego.

A destroyer of fame and reasoning.

Well, if at this point CR7 retires, he has written his name on the sands of football evolution.

Happy retirement in advance!

Who cares??

Ronaldo Forever... Whatever I stand with you... Even in your wrong decisions.

Let's get the 1000 goals now...

Must you start all matches at your age for Goodness sake!

Ramos is better for the team. Make Ronaldo fade jare

He should go and rest. It's high time jare
Very selfish guy. Had it been the players before him didn't give him chance and opportunity to showcase his young talents, will he be where he is today? Very anyhow person. You have paid your dues and sacrificed everything for your country and your club. Had it been you respected yourself and leave when the ovation is high. It would not have gotten to this show of shame and embarrassment.

this Colos is no longer compatible with your system leave it it’s not a do or die affair LEAVE IT

Ronaldo is too arrogant.

He has made name already. It's time for him to completely retire from football

Ronaldo is a Yoruba man, greedy and self centered

Oga, Ronaldo needs to retire. He has served his time and name!

Which kind ego be this? Remember you are a player and must act under the instructions of your coach!

He should retire before shame chases him out.

Ronaldo is afraid of playing against the super eagles of Nigeria. Baba don take style run away from the imminent defeat against Portugal.

u didn't even wait to hear his side of the story.

So u don't understand there's politics everywhere n he saw some things u didn't see

Nawah ooo

Not starting is the problem. He was an unused substitute. How can he reach his target of 1000 goals if they didn't use him at all. Even if it is 20mins, let them help him to help himself to achieve his goal.
Even if he didn't score, he will be happy.

seun, Fergie001

U won't do anything about this ooo, but mentioning them na straight ban

He wants to touch 1000 goals.

Ronaldo's time is done. He has no business playing for the national team. His presence stifles the talents and abilities of the younger guys in the team. He has done enough for Portugal. He stays longer, he becomes a villain.
Portugal plays better without him in the picture anyways.

CR7 is about to lose it all. What is it that remains in the National team of Portugal? At 41 his reflexes are no longer the same. He is pushing himself too far and that is not lost on the coach. The dancer who thrilled everyone should know when to leave the stage.

mastermaestro:
He should retire before shame comes.

He has retired already.

His last game was against Wales...

You complain too much. Use the report button. It is not for fancy.

When yorubas start telling you the history of your forefathers now, you will start wailing like a hungry he-goat

Don't come back.

Mobutu Sese Seko.

Ronaldo and Tinubu have so many things in common. It's all about their ego and pride. They fail to see that they no longer have anything good to offer. Only shame awaits them at this moment.

The coach betrayed him to help person is now a crime. He single handedly gave the coach the Portuguese job

I used to be his biggest fan but after the disgraceful world cup showing I think Portugal should look elsewhere. Ronaldo has 11 Goals from 6 world cups which is about 2 goals per world cup while Erling Haarland has 7 goals from his first world cup.

Brace up dude.... Jagaban will rule you and your people till 2031 and there is nothing you can do about it.

This guy should just retire he is too gullible of himself jare.
