Portugal – Norway: Jorge Jesus Reveals Why Cristiano Ronaldo Did Not Play

Cristiano Ronaldo watched Portugal's 2-1 victory in Norway from the bench, a first in 18 years, despite coach Jorge Jesus initially planning to bring him on. Jesus changed his plans during the match based on how the game was unfolding, deciding not to substitute Ronaldo. Ronaldo, who started against Wales three days earlier, left the field directly after the match without showing signs of displeasure. Portugal secured a second consecutive win, with Gonçalo Ramos scoring the decisive goals in Ronaldo's absence.
