Cristiano Ronaldo has left Portugal's camp after clashing with coach Jorge Jesus, prompting a federation suspension and statements from Wayne Rooney and Jesus's lawyer.
- The Portuguese federation provisionally suspended Ronaldo and opened disciplinary proceedings after he left the camp before the Denmark match.
- Rooney said Ronaldo's undermining of his manager and teammates was "very wrong" and that he is not handling the end of his international career well.
- Jesus's lawyer Luis Henrique said Ronaldo's fixation on records is erasing his legacy and stopped writing for Record because Ronaldo holds a large stake in its parent company, MediaLever.
- Ronaldo told CNN Portugal he is the most complete player in history and the greatest according to the numbers.
