Cristiano Ronaldo issued a statement apologizing for leaving the national team. In it, the player asserts that he is "always available to compete for Portugal."

Ronaldo's statements come at a time when his situation within the national team is frequently discussed. Experts are speculating about the possibility of the player being suspended from the team, although there is no official confirmation on this matter.

Luka Modric, Ronaldo's former teammate at Real Madrid, commented on the player's situation, suggesting that if Ronaldo chooses not to continue representing the national team, he deserves a proper farewell.

Additionally, on the podcast 'Ataque R Pido', it was mentioned that Cristiano Ronaldo holds a different status, raising the question of whether his departure from the national team should stem from his own decision.

In response to these issues, the Socialist Party confirmed it will facilitate the state budget in order to avoid a "political cliff," although this is not directly related to Ronaldo's situation.

Pressure on the national team and on Ronaldo is mounting, with various voices addressing the player's continuation, but the athlete maintains his desire to return to play for Portugal.
