Cristiano Ronaldo has decided never to play for Portugal again after walking out of the national team camp on Wednesday, according to reports in ‘O Jogo’.
In the wake of comments from Jorge Jesus explaining his omission against Norway and Denmark, Cristiano Ronaldo took the dramatic decision to walk out of the Portugal training camp. Just minutes later, the forward confirmed his departure across his social media channels.
Portuguese daily ‘O Jogo’ now reports that the talisman will never wear the national shirt again, meaning the recent clash against Wales stands as his final bow for the ‘Quinas’.
Consequently, neither a managerial change nor further discussions with Jorge Jesus will alter Ronaldo’s stance, bringing the curtain down on his international career in the bitterest fashion imaginable.
The situation deteriorated rapidly following the fixture against Wales, where Ronaldo featured for 71 minutes before being substituted. He sat out the clash with Norway entirely and took no part in team training. Following Jorge Jesus’ public remarks and showdown talks with the Portuguese Football Federation president, Cristiano Ronaldo’s journey with Portugal has officially reached its conclusion.
