Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended for thirty days by the disciplinary committee of the Portuguese football federation. The sanction relates to his controversial exit from the national team camp last month. A fine of 255 euros comes with the ban. The punishment raised eyebrows almost immediately, with many describing it as a meaningless suspension paired with a negligible fine. The practical effect is limited as well, covering a window with little competitive activity for the national side. For a player who has worn the Portugal shirt for over two decades, the episode is a rare mark against his international career. The federation appears to have settled on a deliberately light touch in handing down its verdict.
