Ronaldo’s fans are firmly behind him, defending him fiercely on social media.

Much of the general public, though, feels the player has turned his back on the national team. That was the message splashed in big letters across the front page of O Jogo, one of Portugal’s leading sports newspapers. Across the Portuguese media, most newspapers and commentators have sided with the view that Ronaldo behaved selfishly.

There are, however, some voices – particularly in newspapers and television outlets in which Ronaldo is a shareholder – who have turned their criticism towards Jesus, accusing him of ingratitude and of indefensibly going back on his word.

Ståle Solbakken, Norway’s head coach for the past six years, said “everything’s fine” with Haaland, who has scored three goals in his past two matches, and played down the idea that the City verdict has been a distraction. Ødegaard is a doubt for the Wales game but we’ll have confirmed line-ups for tonight’s matches shortly.

Quite the maelstrom of international football tonight, with off-pitch drama circling many of the players involved (and one who is not).

You have to feel for new Portugal manager Jorge Jesus, a 72-year-old who knows more than most that time waits for no man, but has apparently had a hard time explaining to Cristiano Ronaldo that at the age of 41 and woefully out of form, he cannot expect to start every single game for one of the best international teams in the world.

Jesus has – at least publicly – been respectful to Ronaldo, starting him in the win over Wales and “resting” the veteran in the impressive 2-1 victory over Norway – Ronnie’s replacement, Gonçalo Ramos, scored the winner for Portugal.

The underlying catalysts behind these events trace back to evolving structural dynamics across the Sports landscape.
