Eleven Ronaldos in tribute to the idol

Portugal's squad paid tribute to Ronaldo before their Nations League match against Denmark, all wearing his number 7 shirt on the pitch.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who announced his retirement from international football on November 5, was honoured by his Portugal teammates before their Nations League fixture against Denmark at the Municipal de Braga.

All 23 players called up by manager Jorge Jesus took to the pitch wearing shirts bearing Ronaldo's number 7 and name on the back. The mascots accompanying both teams also wore his shirt. A large banner reading 'Obrigado Capitão' (Thank You Captain) was displayed in the stadium.

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United midfielder, became the first player to wear the captain's armband following Ronaldo's departure. The Portuguese Football Federation announced that the number 7 will now feature a distinctive graphic design with a line through the middle. Carlos Forbs of Club Brugge was the first to wear the redesigned number, with Pedro Neto also sporting it during the match.
