FPF confirmed this through a statement posted on its official website on Thursday (8/12).

“The reports that Cristiano Ronaldo threatened to leave the national team after a conversation with Fernando Santos are not true. The FPF clarifies that Cristiano never threatened to leave the national team in Qatar,” FPF wrote. .

Ronaldo also denied the news by writing a message on his personal Instagram.

“A team too tight to be broken by outside force. A nation too brave to be scared off by any enemy,” Ronaldo wrote.

The duel Morocco vs Portugal had already taken place during two editions of the World Cup. The first meeting took place during the 1986 World Cup. At that time, Morocco won 3-1.

The second encounter came at the 2018 World Cup, where Ronaldo’s only goal saw Portugal win 1-0.
