Piers Morgan responded to Portugal coach Jorge Jesus's statement that there were "no problems" with Ronaldo, flatly calling it "nonsense," Goal reported.
The British journalist, who is close to Ronaldo, also discussed the related controversy surrounding the Portuguese national team. The Portugal captain left the national team training camp in Denmark on Wednesday.
Jesus had previously stated at a pre-match press conference ahead of the Denmark match that Ronaldo had no issues. Morgan briefly commented on social media: "Nonsense."
The Times reported that Ronaldo left the Portugal training camp after being told that team needs were more important than individual interests, following an emergency meeting to resolve his differences with Jesus.
Morgan responded: "That's not why he left, and it will be clear when he speaks out."
O Jogo reported that Ronaldo has made a final and irreversible decision not to return to the Portugal national team. The newspaper stated that the match against Wales would be Ronaldo's last in a Portugal jersey, ending his international career after years of achievements and records.
Ronaldo confirmed on Wednesday evening that he had left the Portugal training camp. He stated that after the coach's press conference, he spoke with Portuguese Football Federation president Pedro Proença and then decided to leave the national team camp.
Ronaldo wrote: "When the time is right, I will tell all Portuguese people the reasons for my departure from the national team. I have always been fully committed to this team." He concluded: "Now it is time to wish Portugal and all my teammates in the national team all the best, every single one of them."

@Vipdikloty well you’re never far from right but I don’t agree with you. Firstly what he did is not childish and maybe that’s how you may see it cuz you don’t know what happened behind the scenes. Your opinion is based on why is reported to you, rather you don’t know the full story. He has every right to do whatever he wants as long as he feel disrespected, the outcome of his reaction maybe look bad in the public eyes for whatever reasons but that doesn’t mean he’s disrespecting himself or whatever you think he’s doing. The Portuguese team doesn’t treat him with respect and for someone like him who has an elite mentality will do exactly similar. Sometime ago when Messi felt disrespected by the Argentines team, he left and even retired. Later that they apologize and brought him back. So it’s natural for someone in his caliber to do such things. We’re just fans that comment from the outside world knowing nothing within the team so you can’t blame him for nothing you know nothing about, or trying to sabotage his career all in the name of his old
You are speaking a lot of sense but it’s not what this situation needs Ronaldo is old and should have retired from the national team wether you agree or not,he invited all these disrespect Football is not played based on pass history but on what you can offer at the moment ,if he ever felt disrespected he should have left the team since after the 2022 wc when he was left on the bench but because of his arrogance and desire for personal glory he failed to see the fact that the team no longer needs him Even if you his fans defend him all your lives the disrespect will never stop and you have to deal with it There’s no sensible explanation Cr7 will give that will clear his name from all this mess because this is not the first he is behaving like the football world owe him everything he desires

Before the 2026 WC begins u guys were everywhere saying Portugal have the best squad. U guys argued that they have Vitinha, Nunes, Neves, Dias, Bruno. And because Ronaldo failed now u are insulting the same players, calling them average? pathetic
@Thefirst well you might be right but that was the assumption of almost everybody who loves football and not only Ronaldo fans or whatever you call it. Looking at the performances those players you mentioned, they portrayed that feelings and even that some of us knew well they were not up to the task at the highest levels. To correct you, not only Ronaldo failed rather the whole Portuguese team and nation failed. You’re rather pathetic and honestly your comment says so!!!

even the Euro they won was it not Eder that scored the winning Ororo literally played only few minutes in that match
But Ororo scored 3 crucial goals and assisted 3 to get to the final. And he not of injured, who knows he might have scored in the final as well.

@Dihacknyz Eder was never the best player in that tournament or in the Portuguese team, the only moment was the final goal he scored and named Man of the Match. Ronaldo scored 3 crucial goals and assisted 3. Ronaldo, Rui Patrício and Pepe were Portugal best players in that tournament, together with young Renato Sanchez who won the young player of that tournament. Antoine Griezmann was the player of the tournament and Eder didn’t even made it in the UEFA’s Team of the Tournament but Ronaldo was there. He might not win Best player, assists and all the things you mentioned but you can’t deny the fact that he’s collective team effort didn’t drive the team towards every success they had. Also I think you don’t follow the team rather you’re just commenting on what you see. Before the match I think last week, Ronaldo was granted an interview and he said if the Portuguese team doesn’t need him then he will take his boot and bag and leave but at long as they need him, he will continue to represent his nation, which clearly tells you that the federation still wants him there and he also have passion for playing cuz that’s what he enjoys doing. So I don’t see it as anything pulling the team backwards, is only we the fans that like to exaggerates things and make it look like Ronaldo is the reason Portugal is not performing because of football banter but when you take a critical look into things you will realize the whole Portugal team are full of average players and their performances says so! I wish Ronaldo could retire. So we can fully see how average they will keep performing and I believe by that time they will have another individual to put the blame on him. Also I can see you’re a Messi fan does why you didn’t hesitate to bring him to the picture!!! LOL!!

Are you trying to excuse Ronaldo for behaving childish at this his age What are you really defending? You his fans are the main reason why he is experiencing all these disrespect at this later stage of his career,he shouldn’t be in this situation because of what he has achieved but he and you his fans see the achievements far different from what they really are and for that reason deserve all the disrespect, asked for it all so deal with it

So that is why Cristiano doesn't want Portugal team to move on because of what you claimed he did for Portugal. You forgot that the team were behind all the success of Cristiano. For example at nations league won by Portugal Benaldo Silva won best player award not Cristiano at Europ2016, Eder was best Portugal player, Cristiano never won best player award at any international tournament in all his career even though Portugal has won 3 International trophies and yet cr7 was not best player in any, so he must also respect the team that made him what he is. That is why whenever the team refuses to pass to him he becomes useless and a liability on the pitch just to tell you his limitations. Imagine Cristiano is the one that did what Messi did for Argentina, Messi is not the highest goals scorer for Argentina but in all the trophies won by Argentina Messi was highest goal scorer, best player, highest assists provider, highest number of chances created, highest number of dribbles, highest number of man of the match but yet Messi quitely walked away from the national team and he has been receiving his respect and honor even before now.

Maybe I shouldn’t even be here. I think you should check the history of Portuguese football before saying some of the things you just said. People seem to forget what Ronaldo has done for Portugal. Before him, Portugal had talented players, but they had never won a major senior international trophy. Ronaldo came in, changed the mentality of the team, helped them win their first major international trophy, and played a huge role in putting Portuguese football on the map. Even though he didn’t score in the Euro 2016 final, his goals throughout the tournament, leadership, mentality, and contribution to the team were important in getting them there. Portugal have now won three major international trophies during Ronaldo’s era, and he has been a crucial part of that journey. People also forget that Ronaldo is one of the biggest reasons many fans around the world watch Portugal. His success has brought global attention to the national team and helped inspire a younger generation of Portuguese players. I understand why some people think he should retire, and honestly, there are moments when Ronaldo could handle his emotions better. He is human, and sometimes our reactions get the better of us. But that doesn’t mean we should erase or belittle everything he has achieved for Portugal. Other countries usually celebrate their legends and appreciate what they brought to their national teams. Ronaldo deserves that same respect. You can criticize his current performances or disagree with his behavior without pretending that he hasn’t played a massive role in Portugal’s success and global recognition. People have become so used to Ronaldo’s success that they no longer appreciate how extraordinary it actually is. If you want him to retire, that’s your opinion, but don’t rewrite history or diminish his achievements just because you no longer want him playing for Portugal. Criticize the player if you want, but respect the legacy. Forever lives the GOAT
