Bruno Fernandes has said that Cristiano Ronaldo‘s role within the Portugal national team is to score goals. He added that the 40-year-old superstar is the best in the world when it comes to scoring and that they are delighted to have him in the squad.
Speaking to the media ahead of the UEFA Nations League semifinal between Portugal and Germany on Wednesday (June 4), Fernandes hoped that the legendary forward delivers in the upcoming game. He said (via The CR7 Timeline’s X handle):
Fernandes has always backed Ronaldo. Last year, he said he wanted the former Real Madrid superstar at the 2026 World Cup. He said (via GOAL):
Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes revealed that he was not moving to Saudi Arabia this summer despite receiving an offer to join Cristiano Ronaldo’s (Al-Nassr) rivals, Al-Hilal.
Roberto Martinez recently spoke about Cristiano Ronaldo and revealed that the iconic forward was fit and available to play. The Spanish manager said there is no problem with the Al-Nassr superstar and that he will play against Germany in the UEFA Nations League semifinal on Wednesday. Martinez said (via ESPN):
While Ronaldo’s future with Portugal is still in the balance, Martinez also stands in a similar place. Rumors suggest he will be replaced by Jose Mourinho soon, but Martinez is not bothered about it. He said:
While Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal will face Germany on Wednesday, France will take on Spain in the other semifinal on Thursday (June 5).
