Real Madrid's coach, José Mourinho, has firmly rejected allegations from the media that he made disparaging comments about Cristiano Ronaldo and the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF). The reports suggested tensions between Ronaldo and the Portugal national team were reaching a boiling point. However, Mourinho took to X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday to state: "Too much fake news on my comments about Cristiano Ronaldo and the Portuguese Federation. I did not make any comment."
This clarification comes as Ronaldo's relationship with the Portugal national team is under increasing scrutiny. The 41-year-old forward unexpectedly left the team's training camp in Copenhagen prior to the UEFA Nations League match against Denmark. Ronaldo's absence follows a period of uncertainty regarding his position under Portugal's head coach, Jorge Jesus.
During Portugal's 2-1 win against Norway, Ronaldo sat on the bench and later missed a training session. Ronaldo has not yet provided a reason for his departure from the camp.
