Nations League: Ronaldo blows hot over ‘failed promises’ by Portugal manager Jesus

Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo is expressing his discontent over the performance of national team manager Jorge Jesus, following Portugal's 2-1 victory over Norway in the UEFA Nations League on Sunday. According to Record, Ronaldo is furious with Jesus for leaving him on the bench for the entirety of the match. The Portuguese Football Federation has convened an emergency meeting between Ronaldo and Jesus to address the issue.

Reports suggest that Ronaldo was under the impression that he had been assured 30 minutes on the bench, but this promise was not fulfilled. As the match concluded, Ronaldo immediately exited the tunnel without greeting the traveling supporters. Following the game, the 41-year-old missed training on Thursday, with Portugal having journeyed to Sweden to prepare for their upcoming match against Denmark. The situation has reportedly created a tense and uncomfortable atmosphere within the dressing room.
