Ronaldo came off the bench in Portugal’s first two matches at the World Cup

The Portuguese Football Federation has denied that Cristiano Ronaldo had threatened to leave his team’s pitch at the World Cup.

Portuguese newspaper Record said the 37-year-old forward had threatened to quit after being told he would not start against Switzerland in the round of 16.

In the previous match against South Korea, the Portugal captain reacted angrily by walking off the field as a substitute.

The Portuguese FA said: “Cristiano Ronaldo never threatened to leave the national team training camp during his stay in Qatar.”
