Will Cristiano Ronaldo feature in Portugal's International Friendly against Finland?
The Portuguese star recently featured in the Saudi King’s Cup final
Cristiano Ronaldo, a forward for Al-Nassr and the Portugal national team, will not play in his team’s first friendlies before Euro 2024.
O Jogo claims that Ronaldo will not play in the June 4 encounter against Finland. Following the conclusion of the Saudi Arabian championship, he will be given a week’s break by the national team training staff.
Germany will be hosting the European Championship from June 14–July 14. Turkey, Georgia, and the Czech Republic are going to be Portugal’s group-stage rivals.
In 2023, Ronaldo agreed to a deal with Al-Nassr. The attacker has played in 45 games this season in all competitions, tallying 44 goals and dishing out 13 assists.
One of the all-time greats in football, Cristiano Ronaldo has the record for most goals scored in national team competitions. He was the first professional player in existence to win Serie A in Italy, LaLiga in Spain, and the English Premier League in England.
Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo will remain with Al-Nassr for the upcoming campaign, according to a statement made earlier by the club’s general director, Guido Fienga.
