UNL: Man United’s Dalot Reveals What Every Portugal Player Wants for Ronaldo

Speaking to reporters ahead of Portugal’s Nations League quarter-final clash with Denmark, Manchester United right-back Diogo Dalot expressed his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Dalot stated that every player in the Portugal squad hopes to see Ronaldo win as many competitions as possible with the national team.

At 40 years old, the Al Nassr forward remains a legendary figure in Portuguese football, having played a crucial role in the team’s victories at Euro 2016 and the 2019 UEFA Nations League.

With 135 goals in 216 appearances for Portugal, Ronaldo has left an extraordinary legacy, but with limited time left in his career, his teammates are eager to help him secure more silverware.

He said, “Obviously, it is difficult to find more adjectives to describe Cristiano. For me, and I believe for others too, it is a huge privilege to continue having him in the national team, to share moments, and to soak up the experience of his career. Obviously, there is this energy of wanting to see him win big competitions for Portugal.

“The love he has shown throughout his career cannot be questioned, and for us, using that as an example, it would be a beautiful story to see him win as many competitions as possible for Portugal. I believe that every player wants that.”

Dalot has shared the pitch with Ronaldo 61 times across club and international matches, contributing to one goal together.
