Cristiano Ronaldo has left Portugal’s training camp after being snubbed by manager Jorge Jesus in the recent Nations League game against Norway.The Al Nassr forward is one of the greatest players of all time and a legend in his country, but he was surprisingly an unused substitute in Portugal’s 2-1 win over Norway on Sunday.There’s no escaping the fact that Ronaldo is surely coming towards the end of his career, and at the age of 41 it’s debatable if he really still has it in him to compete at international level.The former Manchester United and Real Madrid man has been prolific in the Saudi Pro League with Al Nassr, but in recent outings for Portugal he’s looked off the pace and almost like a hindrance to his teammates.Still, Ronaldo was clearly not happy with Jesus failing to introduce him against Norway, leading to him storming down the tunnel and departing the national team squad.Jorge Jesus gestures during Portugal vs Wales (Photo by Carlos Rodrigues/Getty Images)Cristiano Ronaldo statement on Portugal exit“After the press conference of the national team and following a conversation with the president of the Portuguese Football Federation, I have decided to leave the national team training camp,” Ronaldo said in a statement on Instagram, as quoted by BBC Sport.“In time, I will tell all the Portuguese the truth about the reasons that motivated me to leave.”Meanwhile, Portugal boss Jesus is also quoted as saying: “There was no incident whatsoever.“Any player – and I was a player myself – when you spend 20 or 30 minutes warming up and then don’t get on, no-one is happy about that.”He added: “If I need [Ronaldo], he’ll come on. If I don’t need him, he won’t.”Want more CaughtOffside coverage?
