Cristiano Ronaldo has asked Portugal to punish him for his behaviour.

The legend walked out on his teammates during the Nations League fixtures.

Cristiano Ronaldo wants to face the consequences of his actions

Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed that he’s not yet retiring from international football despite his recent time with the Portuguese national side being shrouded in drama.

The 41-year-old walked out after being an unused substitute during his side’s first leg against Norway and subsequently discovering he would not start against Denmark.

WOW: The insane amount of money Cristiano Ronaldo is paid for a single Instagram post

Ronaldo has now apologised for the incident, claiming he deserves to face the consequences of his actions.

In a statement, the superstar said: “The Portuguese Football Federation must assess the consequences of my actions and punish me for them. I believe the punishment should not be reduced.

“I have already apologised, but I know that actions have consequences.”

He added: “After my suspension period ends, I will be available, as I always have been, to compete and win with our national team.”

When will Cristiano Ronaldo play his final match for Portugal?

While Ronaldo isn’t quite done with international football yet, he won’t don the national colours for much longer.

At his best, ‘CR7’ was nothing short of sensational.

The legend has created many a wonderful memory for his country. Alas, he’s no longer anywhere near his best.

This is when Ronaldo will play his final match for Portugal.
