Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal Football Team

Cristiano Ronaldo's absence from the Portugal squad for an international friendly against Sweden has sparked interest. With reduced squad numbers and Ronaldo currently on holiday in Saudi Arabia, his leading scorer status in the Saudi Pro League adds to the intrigue. Additionally, Ronaldo's world record for international goals, having scored 128 times for Portugal in 205 games since his debut in 2003, further highlights his impact on the international stage.
