Portugal manager Jorge Jesus has confirmed 'there is no going back' on Cristiano Ronaldo's international retirement, after a stunning 1-4 UEFA Nations League defeat to Denmark at Estadio Municipal in Braga on Saturday.

The fixture marked Portugal's first outing since Cristiano Ronaldo's retirement, turning into a bittersweet occasion as the starting XI wore iconic number seven jerseys and fans paid tribute. In the seventh minute, a stadium screen tribute drew widespread applause. However, Rasmus Hojlund's brace and Denmark's clinical display soon overshadowed the celebrations.
