Portugal, tribute to CR7 from players and fans: but at 7' the match did not stop

Portugal paid tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo before Nations League clash with Denmark, with all players wearing his number 7 shirt and fans displaying choreography, though the match did not pause at the 7th minute as some expected.

Portugal honoured Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of their Nations League fixture against Denmark following his recent retirement from international football. All Portuguese players took to the pitch wearing his iconic number 7 shirt, while fans displayed a large choreography and banner in his honour.

The most anticipated moment came at the 7th minute—a symbolic choice reflecting Ronaldo's number—but the match did not stop as many in the stadium had anticipated. Despite the lack of a game interruption, the crowd gave Ronaldo a lengthy standing ovation, though some disappointment was evident at the decision to continue play without a pause.

The stadium's big screen displayed "Grazie" (Thank you) to CR7, which was met with applause from supporters.
