The Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) is reportedly desperate to “make peace” with Cristiano Ronaldo after the five-time Ballon d’Or winner abruptly left camp in the middle of the September-October international break.
Just hours after manager Jorge Jesus publicly reminded Ronaldo he’s the one who “makes the decisions” at Portugal, the 41-year-old got on a plane and cut his international duty short. Also fueling Ronaldo’s seismic exit was Jesus’s plan to bench him for the second consecutive game.
