Portugal football fans are mourning what appears to be the end of Cristiano Ronaldo’s international career after the star forward left the national team’s training camp on Wednesday.
The 41-year-old Ronaldo exited following coach Jorge Jesus’s announcement that he would not start in Thursday’s Nations League game against Denmark. Supporters expressed sadness over the manner of his departure, with one fan saying the coach’s public statements showed a lack of respect for a player who has been pivotal to Portugal’s success.
Ronaldo has indicated he will reveal the reasons behind his departure “in time” but has not confirmed if he is retiring from international football. Despite his absence, Portugal went on to beat Denmark 4-2 in Copenhagen.
