Portugal's team evolution without Ronaldo
After a disagreement with his coach Jorge Jesus, Cristiano Ronaldo left the Portugal national team camp. Nevertheless, the team achieved a significant victory over Denmark with a 4-2 scoreline — a match in which Portugal scored four goals away from home for the first time since 2008 without Ronaldo. Statistics from the British "Sun" newspaper show that Portugal has scored 75 goals in 28 matches without Ronaldo since 2017, averaging 2.7 goals per game. This is higher than the 98 matches he participated in with an average of 2.1 goals, indicating an extraordinary offensive strength in his absence. The analysis links this to the increasing offensive diversification among players like Bruno Fernandes and Rafael Leão, suggesting that the team has become more effective without the former star. This trend is expected to become more evident in upcoming matches following his final departure.
