Thierry Henry Defends Ronaldo After Portugal Camp Exit

Thierry Henry, the France and Arsenal legend, shared his thoughts on Cristiano Ronaldo following Ronaldo's unexpected departure from the Portugal national team camp. This incident occurred prior to Portugal's UEFA Nations League match against Denmark.

Ronaldo left the training facility after a press conference held by head coach Jorge Jesus, traveling to Madrid via private jet. His departure followed a benching during Portugal's 2-1 victory over Norway, where Jesus had previously assured Ronaldo of a 30-minute substitute appearance, a commitment that was not honored.

During his appearance on RMC Sport, Henry stated, “Judging an entire career on this? Never.

When I think of Ronaldo, I won’t think of that, ever, ever!” He expressed immense admiration for Ronaldo, placing him on par with Lionel Messi and acknowledging the significance of both athletes in football. Ronaldo indicated he would clarify his reasons for leaving the national team in an upcoming social media statement.
