A decision from Portugal manager Jorge Jesus not to play Cristiano Ronaldo against Norway last Sunday is being described by a report in the country as “the root of an internal earthquake.”
That Ronaldo is even part of the squad for this extended international window is something of a surprise. The 2026 World Cup marked the end of a natural cycle and even the 41-year-old’s sister predicted the tournament was going to be his “last dance” with Portugal.
