Portugal coach Roberto Martinez watched the Saudi Arabian Pro League match between Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal in the 32nd round.
İdman.Biz reports that the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
"Cristiano still has a great desire to win and I don't see any signs that his level has dropped since coming to Saudi Arabia. He plays very well and has proven his importance to the Portugal national team. His desire to win remains after all his successes and achievements, and this thirst for victory is quite remarkable.
However, achievements alone are not enough to secure a place in the national team. It is also important to contribute to the team's success. Even though he is the captain and has achieved unparalleled success demonstrating his unparalleled talent, he has the same responsibilities as any other player in the national team," Goal quoted Martinez as saying.
Portugal will face the Democratic Republic of Congo (Congo DR), Colombia and Uzbekistan in Group K of the 2026 World Cup.
