Cristiano Ronaldo, the legendary Portuguese soccer player, recently reunited with his national team on the pitch for a practice session before their match against Slovenia. He took to social media to give his “family” a shoutout.
Using the Facebook caption “The family,” Ronaldo posted pictures of himself and his teammates rehearsing on the field as a touching tribute to the Portugal soccer squad.
He also used the hashtag “#ShareThePassion” and an emoji of a Portuguese flag.
The post by the 39-year-old five-time Ballon d’Or winner comes in the wake of recent rumors that he was cut from the national squad despite being scheduled to play alongside them in their friendly match against Sweden.
Fans were alarmed by the rumors, but they quickly subsided when the team explained that the Al-Nassr striker’s suspension was solely for his own recuperation.
A brief family holiday in Saudi Arabia was recently experienced by the Portugal captain, following the league’s suspension for the international break.
The former Real Madrid player will keep working out in preparation for this week’s matchup with Slovenia.
