Ruling
Ronaldo's sanction: from 'he'd pay it in 39 seconds' and 0.00012% to a striking mitigating factor

Summarised by MatchPal
Ronaldo suspended 30 days and fined €255 by Portugal for leaving camp; Ten Hag criticises his commitment at Manchester United.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended for 30 days and fined €255 by the Portuguese Football Federation for abandoning the national team's training camp in Denmark, according to A BOLA. The fine is negligible relative to his Al Nassr salary of €208 million annually—he earns the penalty amount in just 39 seconds. The suspension allows him to return for November fixtures. Erik ten Hag has also weighed in, criticising Ronaldo's physical preparation and commitment during their time together at Manchester United, describing how the forward disappointed both the team and himself.
