Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly left Portugal's training camp feeling betrayed by coach Jorge Jesus, following a private apology over his treatment during a recent match. Spanish sports journalist Edu Aguirre revealed details of the dispute during a football talk show. Ronaldo was reportedly left on the sidelines for around 30 minutes without being brought on, leading to speculation about his relationship with the national team.
According to Aguirre, Jesus met with Ronaldo privately to apologise for the decision and promised to publicly admit his mistake. However, Jesus allegedly contradicted this in a subsequent press conference, leading Ronaldo to feel betrayed. Ronaldo's sister, Katia Aveiro, also expressed criticism of Portugal following the captain's departure.
Jesus denied reports of a rift with Ronaldo amid the speculation surrounding his exit from the camp.
