Cristiano Ronaldo has responded to claims that he threatened to storm out of Portugal’s World Cup camp this week.
Ronaldo was replaced by Goncalo Ramos in the Portugal line-up and the Benfica striker justified his inclusion by netting a sensational hat-trick in his side's 6-1 demolition of Switzerland. That reportedly led to a ‘tense’ exchange with national team boss Fernando Santos.
Ronaldo's reported falling out with management at international level followed a similar situation at club level, having ended his relationship with Manchester United by mutual consent last month following his bombshell interview with Piers Morgan.
