Ronaldo wants Portugal ‘punishment’ but not retiring
Cristiano Ronaldo says he is not retiring from international football but deserves to be punished for walking out on Portugal after head coach Jorge Jesus twice "broke his word".
Ronaldo's statement comes after Portugal head coach Jesus said there was no rift with the captain, following claims the five-time Ballon d'Or winner had refused to train.
Ronaldo's statement struck a conciliatory tone in places, but he was also critical of Portugal coach Jesus as he provided his version of the dispute which prompted him to walk out on the squad last week.
