CR7 has scored 146 goals for Seleção das Quinas!
Cristiano Ronaldo has been a crucial part of the Portugal national football team for quite a while. Many people thought that the 41-year-old would announce his retirement after getting knocked out of the FIFA World Cup 2026, but this was not the case.
It might have been his final appearance at the competition, but CR7 still wants to play for the Portugal national football team. Jorge Jesus is their new head coach and without a doubt, he included Ronaldo in the squad for the UEFA Nations League.
For their opening game of the tournament, Selecao das Quinas are all set to battle it out against the Wales national football team. These countries last met in 2016 and since then, it will be the first-ever clash between them. Portugal will be looking to begin their Nations League title defence with a win and being at home is surely going to put them at an advantage.
