Portugal boss Fernando Santos insists there is no bad blood between himself and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The former Manchester United forward was dramatically dropped from his national team's starting XI, beginning their Qatar 2022 World Cup last-16 match against Switzerland on the bench, with his replacement Goncalo Ramos netting an impressive hat-trick in the 6-1 win. Ronaldo was later substituted on at the Lusail Stadium, as his country secured progressing to the last eight of the World Cup.
With Morocco next to come, Ronaldo will hope to cement a recall to the side but may face stiff competition from new kid on the block, Ramos. After he found the net three times, Santos may have to tread carefully to keep the balance as Portugal chases a first-ever World Cup success.
