The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who is now plying his trade in the Saudi Pro League with Al-Nassr, is considered to have “three things” that make him “unique” and capable of gracing any stage.

Fernandes determined to win World Cup for Ronaldo

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has set his sights on delivering the 2026 World Cup for Cristiano Ronaldo as the ultimate tribute to the iconic forward's career.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s potential departure from Manchester United is the talking point of the football world. Having arrived in 2003 as a raw teenager with a mohawk and departed a decade later as a Ballon d’Or winner, he returned in 2021 eager to add more silverware to his collection. Yet here we are, less than two years on, with rumours swirling that he could once again walk out of Old Trafford. So what does it mean to “leave through the front door”? In football parlance, it is a phrase that suggests departing on good terms, head held high, reputation intact.

Bruno thrives & Felix fires for Ronaldo-less Portugal

Bruno Fernandes grabbed two assists and Joao Felix got on the scoresheet as Portugal saw off the United States, 2-0, on Tuesday. The Selecao grabbed goals either side of half-time, and were disciplined in between to ease to a win in Atlanta. Manager Roberto Martinez would have liked to have had Cristiano Ronaldo at his disposal, but he will take heart from the fact that his side got the job done without their main man.

No Ronaldo, no fun, as Portugal settle for drab scoreless draw

Portugal were solid defensively but offered little going forward, and were forced to settle for a 0-0 draw against a much-changed Mexico with Cristiano Ronaldo sidelined due to injury. Roberto Martinez's men had the majority of the ball, but little concrete to show for it. The two teams combined for three shots on target over the course of 90 forgettable minutes.
