Lionel Messi is "grateful, proud and at peace" after playing final Argentina match
Messi scored one and set up two in 3-0 win over Benin in Buenos Aires to end with 126 goals in 208 games
Cristiano Ronaldo says he is not retiring from internationals but deserves to be punished for walking out on Portugal
Ronaldo left camp last week after being an unused substitute against Norway and then finding out he would not start against Denmark.
He claims head coach Jorge Jesus twice "broke his word".
The 41-year-old has scored 146 goals in 234 Portugal games - both world records
That's all from us today, thank you all of your messages as we say goodbye to international break!
We'll be back tomorrow morning for some Premier League news conferences as the league (finally) returns this weekend.
See you then!
As far I am concerned, Ronaldo has nothing to prove anymore in the national team. He should humble himself and retire honorably. Messi believes he has achieved everything in the game and says it's time. Ronaldo has to do the same rather than to force himself to stay.

There has been too much criticism of one of the Greats-Ronaldo. If just one of us achieved that in life, then would we be up for all the negativaty?

The argument against Ronaldo in ‘who’s the greatest’ debate was always that he played for ‘himself’ first and the ‘team’ second. As he’s got older, it really feels like he plays for himself first, himself second and if there’s any room left, the team third.

If the Portuguese FA had anything about them, they would retire him. He is only interested in his own self indulgence, denying younger players opportunities they deserve. It would be interesting to see how the coach reacts.
Anthony, Turkey
Ronaldo surely didn't time his 11-slide Instagram statement to overshadow a rival player who is retiring in a dignified fashion because he knows it's time to let the next generation shine?

Portugal's newspapers had differing perspectives.
Record - who the forward owns shares in - said "Ronaldo leaves after clash with Jesus" and Jornal de Noticias said it was "the end of a historic era".
"A sad goodbye," said Bola, while Jogo went for "CR7 turns his back on the national team".
Meanwhile, videos were posted online of angry fans ripping up their Portugal jerseys.
Jorge Jesus and Pedro Proenca were booed leaving a building in Copenhagen.
But many foreign fans purely supported Portugal because of Ronaldo - so they do not necessarily represent the views of actual Portuguese supporters.
Portugal fan Maria Ribeiro, from Lisbon, said: "It is so hard for all us fans. We all love him but it is getting too much now. It is hard to imagine Portugal without Ronaldo but maybe this is the time. There is too much arguing between ourselves."
The best Footballers are like the best TV series. They know when to quit, that's the difference between Messi and Ronaldo, one knows and is moving on while the other one won't accept it and looks like he is happy to end badly.

On several billboards in Lisbon posters went up praising Ronaldo and criticising Jesus.
They read, in Portuguese: "Thank you Cristiano Ronaldo for everything you did for Portugal. You will always be our captain.
"Jorge Jesus was not up to the task. Lack of sensitivity. Treating a captain wrongly. Inflated ego."
One was placed next to the Estadio da Luz, home of Benfica - who Jesus managed to three league titles.
At the Denmark game, some fans wore T-shirts spelling out 'Love you Jesus' while others were head-to-toe in Ronaldo merch.
Denmark striker Rasmus Hojlund, incidentally, celebrated his goal with his idol Ronaldo's trademark 'siuuu' - something he has done previously when netting against Portugal.

Portugal need to move on from Ronaldo. The teams results have proven he is now surplus. He should encourage the current crop to go and do well, instead of darkening their door with selfish nonsense.

Safe to say Portugal manager Jorge Jesus is not backing down over his treatment of Cristiano Ronaldo...
Jesus fires back over Cristiano Ronaldo question
Jesus should demand an apology or refuse to select Ronaldo again. He cannot expect to publicly criticise the manager and then walk back into the squad. A terrible example for any player, let alone captain and national icon. Jesus should stand strong. Ronaldo is acting like a petulant child.

Image source, Getty ImagesJournalist Marcus Alves, who covers Portugal, said: "How much gratitude is enough? That's a question that Portuguese fans have been asking for a few years now.
"The whole soap opera that seems to follow the mere presence of the 41-year-old striker got to a point where patience was running out.
"Of Portugal's last five coaches, Ronaldo had issues with four of them – Carlos Queiroz, Paulo Bento, Fernando Santos and now Jesus. That's too much distraction when Portugal have arguably their best generation ever."
Messi is the "superior" person as he doesn't display the same superior arrogance as Ronaldo and his 'dummy spit outs' as in the recent walk out.

Portugués Ronaldo is a baby. He’s also scored a lot of those goals against Cannon Fodder teams in the European Qualifiers .

In the last nine years of CristianoRonaldo's international career, Portugal's win percentage without him is slightly better - 66% to 63% - and they have scored 2.7 goals a game without him compared to 2.1 with him.
The two biggest wins in their history - 9-0 over Luxembourg and 9-1 against Armenia - came in the last two qualifying matches that he missed, both through suspension.
Whoever knew Ronaldo would have such a Messi end to a great career.

Ronaldo should hang up his international boots rather than act like a spoilt brat. Leave with dignity.

Josh, I see what you did there.
Cristiano Ronaldo said he will be available for Portugal after his suspension period ends, but will he be in line for selection?

CristianoRonaldo's statement comes after Portugal head coach JorgeJesus said there was no rift with the captain, following claims the five-time Ballon d'Or winner had refused to train.
Jesus said on Sunday that the door was still open for Ronaldo to play for the country's national team.
Ronaldo said that, provided he was "physically fit, playing with my team, and hopefully scoring goals", he would like to continue to play international football."
"After my suspension period ends, I will be available, as I always have been, to compete and win with our national team," he added.

Cristiano Ronaldo's statement struck a conciliatory tone in places, but he was also critical of Portugal coach JorgeJesus as he provided his version of the dispute which prompted him to walk out on the squad last week.
He said Jesus had agreed a plan under which the forward would miss the Norway and Denmark matches to manage his fitness.
However, on the day of the Norway game, the 72-year-old coach told him he would play for 30 minutes.
"Everyone knows the rest. I warmed up from half-time onwards, watched the minutes tick by and wasn't called on," Ronaldo said.
"The manager had broken his word to me."
A later meeting with Jesus produced an agreement for the coach to clarify matters at his next news conference.
Ronaldo said an eight-point document was prepared saying he had never demanded playing time, had respected Jesus' decisions and that the coach asking "someone of the stature of Pele or Maradona" to warm up without bringing him on had been a mistake.
Portugal's record appearance holder said the agreed notes did not require Jesus to apologise to him but said the coach's public remarks did not reflect their private discussion.
"The conference was what is known: the attitude had nothing to do with our meeting," Ronaldo explained.
"I heard expressions and an aggressiveness I believe I did not deserve, a "High and mighty" attitude that he never showed me, not even remotely, in private the day before."

Ronaldo is the greatest. He led Portugal to the Euros, sixteen successes with only four players playing in the top five leagues at the time (Ronaldo, Pepe, Jose Fonte and Cedric). Nobody else in the history of the game is doing that barring maybe Maradona.

Image source, Getty ImagesCristiano Ronaldo says he is not retiring from international football but deserves to be punished for walking out on Portugal after head coach Jorge Jesus twice "broke his word".
The 41-year-old captain left his country's Nations League camp last week after being an unused substitute against Norway and then finding out he would not start against Denmark.
Al-Nassr forward Ronaldo has scored 146 goals in 234 Portugal appearances - both world records - helping them win Euro 2016 and the Nations League twice.
In a lengthy statement, external, which ran to nearly 2,000 words, the former Real Madrid and Manchester United player said he should be held accountable for his actions.
But he accused Jesus of an "absolute breach of trust" for firstly not playing him against Norway after saying he would, before going back on a decision to present an agreed version of events to the media.
"The Portuguese Football Federation must assess the consequences of my actions and punish me for them. I believe the punishment should not be reduced," Ronaldo said.
"I have already apologised, but I know that actions have consequences."
Ronaldo's statement comes after Portugal head coach Jesus said there was no rift with the captain, following claims the five-time Ballon d'Or winner had refused to train.
