Cristiano Ronaldo stated, in a statement published on October 6, 2026, that he decided to leave the Portuguese national team camp after the coach, according to him, did not uphold an agreement regarding his participation in a match in Norway. He said he agreed to play for 30 minutes, went to warm up at halftime, but never got to enter. He also apologized for not greeting the fans after the match. Ronaldo recounted that, after the 2026 World Cup, he prepared a farewell letter and that the president of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) asked him to consider continuing. He said he supported the choice of the current coach, and that the coach proposed he play the first and last game, with rotations, and not travel to Norway and Denmark. Ronaldo stated that he refused to stay in Portugal and that the coach agreed. According to the player, the coach initially maintained the plan agreed upon in a conversation at his house, along with Simão Coutinho, the sports director of Al Nassr. Ronaldo said that he agreed to be substituted in a game in Alvalade without protesting and passed the captain's armband to Bruno Fernandes. Regarding the match in Norway, he said he expected to play again only at the Dragão but accepted the offer to come in for 30 minutes. Ronaldo said that, 48 hours later, he arranged with the coach for him to explain at a press conference that the plan had been his initiative and that he had made a mistake by having him warm up without using him. He added that, at the coach's request, a document was prepared with Simão Coutinho and Tiago Craveiro, validated by him and submitted to the coach. According to Ronaldo, the notes acknowledged that he accepted the plan and was loyal and professional but did not include an apology. The player stated that this was the second time the coach had failed to keep his word and that he decided to leave the camp because he felt trust was broken. He said that, on the morning of the conference, the president of the FPF and the coach assured him that his place on the team was still secure. Ronaldo took full responsibility for leaving the camp, apologized to his teammates and the Portuguese fans, and declared that the FPF should evaluate and punish the act, without mitigation, also considering his role as captain. Ronaldo added that there could be one or more farewell matches, but he associated the national team with competition. He said that after serving any suspension that might be imposed on him, he would be available to play and fight for victories if he was physically well and playing for the club. He also recalled that he stayed in a camp after learning of his father's death, until finishing the next game. #CristianoRonaldo #SeleçãoPortuguesa #Futebol (translated)

B24 published a statement in which Cristiano Ronaldo presented his version of the misunderstanding with the national coach and his exit from the training camp. The forward stated that, after the 2026 World Cup, he had prepared a farewell letter, but the president of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) had asked him to reconsider his departure. He also mentioned that he had supported the choice of the current coach. Ronaldo stated that the coach had presented him with a plan for his participation in the national team and that, in an initial conversation, he had suggested that he not travel for the matches in Norway and Denmark. According to the player, he rejected the proposal as he believed it would not be a good example for the captain to stay in Portugal. He noted that Simão Coutinho, sports director of Al Nassr, had accompanied the discussions. Regarding the match in Norway, Ronaldo reported that the coach asked him if he was available to play for 30 minutes. He said he accepted, despite recovering physically, but warmed up from halftime and did not end up playing. The player stated that, in a meeting 48 hours later, the coach agreed to publicly explain the agreed plan and acknowledged that it was a mistake to make him warm up without putting him on the field. According to Ronaldo, the coach had promised to do so at a press conference but had not fulfilled the agreement. The forward said he had validated notes for the conference, in which the coach would acknowledge proposing the plan, affirm that Ronaldo had accepted it without questioning the options, and admit that he would not make him warm up again under those circumstances. Ronaldo stated that the coach should also recognize the importance of the player, who had represented the national team for 24 years, and argue that problems should not be invented around his reaction after the game. Ronaldo said he decided to leave the training camp because he felt the coach had broken his word for the second time. He apologized to the fans for not greeting them after the game and to his teammates for leaving, taking responsibility for both decisions. He added that he accepted being punished by the FPF without mitigating circumstances, as he was the captain. The player stated that he would continue to be available to compete for Portugal after serving the suspension, as long as he was physically well and playing for the club. He also said that he hoped to have one or more farewell matches, but that his priority was to continue competing and winning for the national team. #CristianoRonaldo #SeleçãoNacional #Futebol (translated)

🚨🚨 SL Benfica quer o interdição do Estádio do Dragão O Benfica apresentou uma exposição formal ao Conselho de Disciplina da Federação Portuguesa de Futebol, na qual pede sanções disciplinares na sequência de vários episódios ocorridos no último clássico frente ao FC Porto. Entre as situações apontadas pelos encarnados está o comportamento do banco portista, com particular destaque para o roupeiro do FC Porto, a quem são atribuídos gestos ofensivos na direção da comitiva e do banco de suplentes do Benfica. O clube da Luz pede ainda um castigo para Gabri Veiga, devido ao lançamento de uma garrafa na direção da zona técnica benfiquista. O Benfica contesta também o ambiente criado no Estádio do Dragão, alegando a existência de provocações dirigidas aos seus adeptos através da música e da animação durante o encontro. Perante estas situações, os encarnados pretendem que o recinto portista seja alvo de uma interdição. A exposição inclui ainda um pedido de esclarecimento sobre a origem, a licitude e a legalidade das imagens captadas no banco do Benfica e posteriormente divulgadas pelo Porto Canal. O clube questiona a eventual utilização indevida desses conteúdos no domínio público. O processo está agora nas mãos do Conselho de Disciplina, que deverá analisar os factos e decidir nos próximos dias se serão instaurados processos disciplinares aos vários intervenientes. #SLBenfica #FCPorto #FutebolPortugal

É um privilégio para os sócios/adeptos do FC Porto ter André Villas-Boas como Presidente! #FCPorto #AndréVillasBoas #Futebol

Há coisas que não nos conseguimos escapar na vida: morte, impostos, amarelos do Palhinha e fogo de artifício no hotel onde o Benfica dorme antes do Clássico no Dragão. Todos os anos, acontecem "coisas estranhas" antes do Clássico no Dragão. Este não será diferente. Por isso vou-me já antecipar. Mais logo à noite, e amanhã de madrugrada, teremos fogo de artifício, a dois tempos, junto do hotel onde o Benfica ficar. Amanhã à noite, mesmo que cheguem duas horas antes do jogo, grande parte dos adeptos do Benfica só entrarão no Estádio do Dragão já com o jogo a decorrer, e alguns certamente que não vão ver a primeira parte. As revistas vão, como sempre, ser o menos humanas possíveis. Não importa como o chão está. Os adeptos do Benfica serão obrigados a descalçar-se e caminhar descalço sobre chão ensopado se for preciso. Quando o Benfica joga no Porto, a lei e a autoridade deixa de funcionar. Passa a valer tudo. #Clássico #Benfica #FogoDeArtifício
