Portugal honour Ronaldo with special gesture against Denmark

The Portuguese national team took the opportunity to honour their historic captain Cristiano Ronaldo before the start of their match against Denmark, as part of the fifth round of the UEFA Nations League, in a gesture of appreciation for his exceptional career with the national team.

Fans at the Estádio Municipal de Braga displayed a massive banner reading 'Thank you, Captain', expressing their gratitude for what Ronaldo has contributed to Portuguese football throughout his years wearing the national team shirt.

The tribute was not limited to the fans, as the Portugal players entered the pitch wearing the number 7 shirt, in memory of their former teammate, who recently ended his international career, leaving behind a historical legacy that is hard to replicate.

Portuguese fans applauded in the 7th minute after a picture of Ronaldo appeared on the main screen of the stadium.

Cristiano Ronaldo has concluded his international career with Portugal after playing 234 matches and scoring 146 goals. He led his country to victory in the UEFA European Championship in 2016 and secured the UEFA Nations League title in both 2019 and 2025.
