Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal Future Remains Uncertain After Squad Exit
Cristiano Ronaldo’s future with the Portugal national team remains uncertain following his sudden departure from the squad ahead of the team’s Nations League match against Denmark.
The 41-year-old forward left the national team camp after he was left on the bench during Portugal’s 2-1 win over Norway and was informed that he would not start against Denmark. Ronaldo later said he would explain his decision to leave the camp at a later time.
Portugal coach Jorge Jesus has since said the door remains open for Ronaldo to return to the national team. Jesus said the decision ultimately rests with Ronaldo, while the Portuguese Football Federation has also described the situation as a misunderstanding.
Ronaldo remains Portugal’s all-time leading scorer, with 146 goals in 234 appearances, and his next decision could determine how his international career ends.
Former footballer Zlatan Ibrahimovic has shared his predictions for some of the biggest football competitions this season. In a recent interview with ESPN, Ibrahimovic was asked which teams he thinks will win some of the major domestic competitions.
He picked Manchester City to win the Premier League, Chelsea to win the FA Cup and Barcelona to win La Liga.
Ibrahimovic also backed Barcelona to win the Champions League and selected Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal as his pick for the Ballon d’Or.
For context, the 2025/26 Premier League title was won by Arsenal, while Manchester City won the 2025/26 FA Cup and Barcelona won the 2025/26 La Liga title.
It remains to be seen how Ibrahimovic’s predictions will play out by the end of the season.
The Premier League has called out Manchester City for a breach of its rules. The Premier League released an official statement which confirmed Manchester City’s breach of rules at the competition during the nine-season period.
The statement shared “Manchester City arranged ‘sham’ contracts (which misrepresented the true agreement between the parties) with a number of its commercial partners, as well as relying on ‘sham’ agreements with others, to artificially inflate the club’s revenues and reduce its costs.
The club filed misstated accounts and concealed the true state of its finances from its auditors and football regulators.
– Manchester City was significantly in breach of both the Premier League’s and UEFA’s spending limits.
– During the Premier League’s investigation, Manchester City committed multiple breaches of its duties of co-operation and utmost good faith towards the League (three of the four alleged breaches were upheld).”
Footballer Lamine Yamal speaks on the Ballon d’Or award and shares how he will still be happy if his teammate, Pau Cubarsí, gets the award.
“Last year, for me, Cubarsí was the best young player in the world. Either the Kopa award or the Ballon d’Or should go to him. There’s no difference between us.
“When I won it, I told him that he would be next. If he doesn’t win it for whatever reason, I will give it to him.”
