At the age of 39, Cristiano Ronaldo, who enjoys the confidence of the Portugal coach, continues to be selected for the national team.
As part of the international window in March 2024, he again received a call-up to play in his country's two friendly matches.
In fact, Seleksão had on the program a match against Sweden, and then another against Slovenia, on 26 March 2024.
As for the match against Sweden, it was held on March 21, and Roberto Martinez’s men came out brilliant.
They actually won 5-2, particularly with a goal from the Portuguese striker, who had difficulty at Paris Saint-Germain, Gonzalo Ramos.
In this match, Cristiano Ronaldo, who remained on the bench, was not given the opportunity to break his record as the best scorer of all time.
What's worse is that the star was stripped of his “7” number, which became his trademark during this confrontation.
Against Sweden, the number 7, previously worn by Cristiano Ronaldo, was given to the young striker from Sporting Clube de Braga, Roma.
The latter also scored a goal. So it seems that the number “7” brought him luck.
However, it is not necessarily expected to maintain this number for long. In official matches, CR7 will continue to wear number 7 until his retirement.
