Real Madrid legend Cristiano Ronaldo suspended by Portugal

Real Madrid icon Cristiano Ronaldo has this weekend seen an official case opened against him by the Football Association of the Portuguese national team. This of course comes fresh off a tumultuous week all told for the veteran frontman.

Left bemused by the public comments of manager Jorge Jesus in response to his lack of minutes during the Nations League, Ronaldo responded by abandoning the Portuguese camp.

The 41-year-old then released a lengthy statement, outlining his position, apologising for his actions, and explaining the situation from his point of view. Ronaldo’s announcement also included confirmation that he expected to be hit with a punishment on the part of his country.
