Cristiano Ronaldo has made a special request ahead of Portugal’s vital World Cup qualification playoff match against North Macedonia.
The 37-year-old will lead out his nation for the pivotal clash with the winners progressing through to this winter’s World Cup finals in Qatar. Portugal will be overwhelming favourites for the game in Porto, having defeated Turkey last week in the first round of qualification matches.
North Macedonia are on a high themselves, having stunned Italy with a last-minute winner last week and they could be set for their second major finals in the space of two years – having qualified for their first ever tournament for last summer’s European Championships.
