Ronaldo and Jorge Jesus hold talks after Norway incident

Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal head coach Jorge Jesus have held talks following the tension that emerged after the team's 2-1 Nations League victory over Norway.

Ronaldo remained an unused substitute throughout the match in Oslo, ending an 18-year run of appearing in every competitive international match when he was available. The Portugal's captain had been expected to play part of the game but was ultimately not introduced.

Jesus explained after the match that he had considered bringing Ronaldo on for around 30 minutes, but the course of the game changed his plans. Then, Gonçalo Ramos scored Portugal's winning goal after also starting in place of Ronaldo.

After the final whistle Ronaldo went straight down the tunnel instead of joining his teammates in thanking the travelling supporters, prompting questions about his reaction to the decision. Jesus said afterwards that he needed to speak with his captain.

The meeting between the two reportedly took place in Malmö and ended positively, helping to ease the tension within the Portugal camp. Ronaldo has since returned his focus to the national team ahead of the next Nations League fixture against Denmark.
