After the storm in the Portugal national team: Ronaldo's ridiculous punishment

The Portuguese Football Federation has suspended Cristiano Ronaldo for 30 days and fined him €255 after he left the national team camp without permission in September. The lenient punishment may allow him to return to the squad in November.

The Portuguese Football Federation has imposed a 30-day suspension and a fine of just €255 on Cristiano Ronaldo, following his departure from the national team's training camp without permission in September. The punishment is considered particularly lenient, especially given the low fine imposed on one of the highest-earning footballers in the world. The suspension is expected to end before the international match window in November, so Ronaldo may return to the squad as early as next month. The decision on his call-up will be up to the professional staff of the Portugal national team.
