Cristiano Ronaldo asked for punishment ‘without mitigation’, then fought to cut it
Cristiano Ronaldo successfully fought to reduce his punishment for walking out on a Portugal training camp after publicly saying his sanction should be imposed “without mitigating circumstances”.
In a lengthy statement on social media after he left the camp in Denmark last month, Ronaldo said he should be punished as the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) saw fit, adding that his role as captain constituted “an aggravating factor”.
