Portugal immortalise Cristiano Ronaldo’s No 7 shirt in tribute to national legend
Follow
The Portuguese national team has introduced a permanent design modification to their number seven jersey to honor the legacy of Cristiano Ronaldo. Following his retirement on November 5 after 246 caps and 146 goals, the federation added a horizontal strike to the digit to distinguish the version worn by their record-breaking captain.
This change serves as a tribute to his two-decade tenure in the shirt, which included victories at Euro 2016 and two Nations League tournaments. The team plans to hold a formal recognition of his career during their upcoming match against Denmark.
The final appearance for the forward occurred on September 24 in a victory over Wales.
