Cristiano Ronaldo Ends 23-Year International Football Career Amidst Controversy

Portugal. Portugal's great football player Cristiano Ronaldo has ended his 23-year international football career. However, his farewell could not be as pleasant and celebratory as expected. He announced his retirement from the national team after a dispute with the coach and misunderstanding within the team.

41-year-old Ronaldo decided to leave the national team after a dispute with coach Jorge Jesus. He was banned for 30 days and fined 255 Euros for leaving the team's training camp without permission. After the coach benched him for one match and indicated he would not be in the starting lineup for another match, Ronaldo left the camp and returned home.
