Portugal stay perfect without Ronaldo in Nations League

Gonçalo Ramos is helping Portugal to forget all about Cristiano Ronaldo, while Greece took more points off Jürgen Klopp and Germany in the Nations League yesterday.

Ramos fired Portugal to a 2-1 win over Norway to keep the Portuguese perfect in Group A4 with four wins – enough to book their place in the quarter-finals.

Ronaldo was involved in Portugal’s opening Nations League game, where he was replaced by Ramos in a 1-0 win over Wales, and hasn’t played since. The veteran left the squad after watching the second game from the substitutes’ bench – a 2-1 win in Norway – and Portugal showed no ill effects from his departure with a 4-2 win in Denmark and the latest 2-1 win over Norway.
