Portugal boss Jorge Jesus confirmed Cristiano Ronaldo will feature against Norway on Sunday, but his vote of confidence also came with a wake-up call.
Ronaldo, who admitted he considered retirement following the 2026 World Cup, is still leading the Seleção das Quinas at age 41. There’s constant discourse over whether the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is holding Portugal back, a narrative that only gained traction after the team managed a lackluster 1–0 win over Wales on Thursday.
