Cristiano Ronaldo is embroiled in a dispute with the Portuguese Football Federation and coach Jorge Jesus following his abrupt departure from the national team camp. An investigation has been launched into his conduct. Ronaldo accused Jesus of misrepresenting events, leading to his exit. Amidst this, resurfaced comments from a February 2025 La Sexta interview reveal Ronaldo's conviction that he is the greatest player in football history, citing his 980 goals in 1,337 professional appearances. He expressed a desire for events to unfold naturally regarding his pursuit of 1,000 career goals. Ronaldo also issued a 1,740-word statement, clarifying he does not plan immediate international retirement and seeks "farewell matches," demanding recognition akin to Pelé or Diego Maradona. His club retirement from Al Nassr is anticipated next June, but his Portugal future remains uncertain.
