Cristiano Ronaldo may face suspension after leaving national team camp
Summary

Cristiano Ronaldo could face a suspension of one to six months from the Portuguese Football Federation for leaving the national team camp after not playing against Norway. Angered by not seeing the field for the first time in 18 years, Ronaldo exited without acknowledging fans or teammates following a 2-1 victory. His departure was announced on social media, stating he would share the reasons later. Although the federation's rules indicate an automatic suspension, sources suggest the penalty may be inconsequential given Ronaldo's age and potential retirement plans after the next World Cup.
