Cristiano Ronaldo Provisionally Suspended By Portuguese Football Federation After Exiting National Team

"Without prejudice to the automatic preventive suspension to which he was ‌subject ⁠until the date of initiation, a non-automatic preventive suspension of the player was determined, and the proceedings were given urgent status," the federation was quoted ⁠as saying. Ronaldo apologised on Tuesday for failing to acknowledge supporters after the Norway game and for leaving ⁠his team mates, adding that he would remain available for selection after serving any punishment ⁠arising from the incident.

Notably, the veteran footballer's mother Dolores Aveiro revealed that she had cried at how the events panned out as she disclosed while speaking to TV 7 Dias. It was a shock, my son could have left through the main door and instead he left through the small door, but it's okay, God will take care of it.

It's good too, to let go. We have to turn this around.

Cristiano Ronaldo enjoys happy return to Al Nassr and Riyadh Even as troubles continue to mount for the star footballer as far as the national team, Ronaldo enjoyed a victorious stint with Al Nassr at the Alawwal Park in Riyadh in the Saudi Pro League 2025-26 league fixture. Ronaldo scored one of the three goals as Diriyah Club lost comprehensively.

With 980 goals now under his belt, the dream is well and truly alive of reaching the milestone of 1000. Al Nassr coach Andre Postecoglou praised the team's performance against Diriyah Club and stated, as quoted by The National News: I thought it was a good performance.

Obviously, it is always good to win and we scored three good goals, kept a clean sheet. In general, I thought it was a really good, strong performance and against a difficult opponent, so I'm happy.

Al Nassr will next face FC Neftchi Fergana in the group-stage match of AFC Champions League.
