Cristiano Ronaldo<\/a> was suspended for 30 days by the Portuguese FA on Monday after leaving the national team camp following a rift with coach Jorge
Jesus<\/a> over his role in the side.<\/p>\n

The federation\u2019s disciplinary council said it had upheld the charge against the 41-year-old forward in full and imposed a fine of 255 euros ($409).<\/p>\n

The superstar\u2019s salary with Saudi Pro League team Al Nassr is reportedly about $336 million, while his total annual income is believed to be in the vicinity of $430m including his off-field deals.<\/p>\n

It means he earns approximately $1.17m a day, $49,000 an hour, and $816 a minute. So the fine imposed by Portugal equates to roughly 30 seconds of work for him.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo left Portugal\u2019s base in Copenhagen before their Nations League match against Denmark earlier this month, having accused Jesus of twice breaking his word about his role after he was an unused substitute against Norway.<\/p>\n

Jesus denied making any agreement with Ronaldo but left the door open for his return following Portugal\u2019s 2-1 win.<\/p>\n

The disciplinary council\u2019s non-professional section found Ronaldo had intentionally committed an offence under Article 160(1) of the federation\u2019s disciplinary regulations.<\/p>\n

Proceedings were opened on October 9 over facts reported two days earlier.<\/p>\n

The statement did not specify which matches or activities the suspension would cover, or whether time already served under a provisional suspension would count towards the 30-day sanction.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo later apologised for failing to acknowledge supporters after the Norway match and for leaving his teammates, saying he remained available for selection after serving any punishment arising from the incident.<\/p>\n

Portuguese FA president Pedro Proenca has said everyone within the federation wanted Ronaldo to return to the national team once the matter was resolved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cristiano Ronaldo was suspended for 30 days by the Portuguese FA on Monday after leaving the national team…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":934232,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-934231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/934231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=934231"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/934231\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/934232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=934231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=934231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=934231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
