Suspended, Cristiano Ronaldo breaks the silence

Portugal is playing big this Sunday against Armenia, for its last match in the qualifiers for the Europe zone. Leader of its group with two points ahead of Hungary and three over Ireland, the Seleçao must win to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.

A draw or defeat would expose him to the return of his pursuers and the prospect of competing in the play-offs next March. Maximum pressure, therefore, especially since Cristiano Ronaldo will not be there. Expelled Thursday evening in Dublin, “CR7” is suspended for this decisive meeting.

Cristiano Ronaldo encourages Portugal

Since this red card, the Portuguese striker has not spoken, even on social networks. A silence that he broke to send a simple message of encouragement to his teammates.
“Come on team! All together today and forever! For Portugal and our flag! »he posted on Instagram.
