“However, it feels like the right time for me to seek a new challenge. I wish the team every success for the remainder of the season and for the future.”

Cristiano Ronaldo will be in action for Portugal against the Black stars of Ghana on Thursday, 24th November 2022 in the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.
