• •Portugal head coach Roberto Martinez addressed speculation regarding Ronaldo’s future in a pre-match press conference.
• •Martinez stated that the forward remains focused on upcoming fixtures rather than his final appearance on home soil.
• •It remains uncertain whether Ronaldo will feature in future international cycles beyond current tournament commitments.

Portugal coach Roberto Martinez stated on Tuesday that Cristiano Ronaldo is not currently planning his departure from the national team. While Ronaldo has long been a fixture of the squad, his future has become a point of public conjecture following recent changes in his club status and national team playing time. However, Martinez clarified that the forward remains entirely committed, dismissing the idea that Wednesday’s friendly against Nigeria would serve as a final farewell. Whether this sentiment persists into the next qualifying cycle depends on Ronaldo’s individual performance levels and the team's long-term tactical needs.
