Cristiano Ronaldo has sent a message of support to his Portugal team-mates ahead of their meeting with Armenia. The Selecao currently top Group F ahead of the final round of World Cup qualification games but defeat to Ireland on Thursday means they need to win to book their trip stateside next summer.

Messi was only around five months older than Mbappé when he reached the 400-mark, managing the feat in 2014 at the age of just 27 years, three months and as many days. Other than Mbappé and Pelé, only German sharpshooter Gerd Müller has hit the milestone at a younger age than the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner.

Cristiano Ronaldo likely faces a three-week wait to discover the length of his FIFA ban ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Top bosses of the Portuguese football federation have reportedly begun assembling an urgent appeal to FIFA in an attempt to cut down Cristiano Ronaldo's three-match suspension, a punishment that currently threatens to rule the 40-year-old out of the opening fixtures of what would be his sixth World Cup next summer.

Ronaldo took to his social media pages to leave a message for the Portuguese national team players, who know that a win against Armenia will qualify them for the 2026 World Cup. On his Instagram and X account, Cristiano Ronaldo’s first words after the red card against Ireland were motivational words of encouragement for his teammates.

Portugal should seal qualification in the coming days for the World Cup that will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Jack Jones just delivered the most fitting celebration imaginable after his overtime interception in Spain. The Miami Dolphins corner made the play, sprinted toward the sideline, and launched into Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic twisting jump.

Man Utd flop Antony is now being likened to Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar just months after Ruben Amorim sold him to Real Betis for £22m. The Red Devils signed Antony from Ajax in a deal worth around £85m, making him the most expensive Eredivisie player in history, with Erik ten Hag making him one of his first signings at the club.
