Cristiano Ronaldo looks set to return to international duty after Portugal submitted a formal request to Al-Nassr for his release ahead of the UEFA Nations League. The move signals a major turning point for the veteran forward following a recent 30-day suspension and a high-profile disagreement over playing time.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been crowned the 'Ballon d'Or of All Time' following a public vote to mark the 70th anniversary of the prestigious award. The Al Nassr forward beat long-time rival Lionel Messi to the symbolic honour, with fans choosing his 2008 triumph at Manchester United as the ultimate standout.
