After leaving the field, the player wrote on social media that he would reveal the truth to the Portuguese about his reasons for leaving, highlighting that he had always been dedicated to the national team.

On the other hand, Jorge Jesus mentioned that he planned to discuss the situation after the last game of the first four Nations League matches, all of which Portugal won.

In this context, Jorge Jesus, Portugal team coach, said Cristiano Ronaldo can return to the team if he wants to. The coach mentioned that the player has the last decision, emphasising that Cristiano Ronaldo “should end his time in the national team the way he wants.”

Playing or not, Jorge Jesus said he still needs the player by his side, echoing the same sentiment after Portugal's last victory.
