Ronaldo punished for Portugal walkout: Suspension and fine after clash with coach

Cristiano Ronaldo's decision to walk out of Portugal's national team camp following a reported disagreement with coach Jorge Jesus has cost the superstar forward a 30-day suspension and a fine of €255 ($285), with the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) describing the punishment as “adequate and sufficient”.The FPF announced the disciplinary decision on Monday, confirming that the 41-year-old had admitted the facts underlying the charges in a formal statement submitted on Friday. His admission and clean disciplinary record were considered mitigating circumstances, helping reduce the sanction. The fine was the maximum permitted after those circumstances were taken into account.Ronaldo, who had already apologised for his actions and acknowledged that he deserved to be punished, can appeal the decision.
