Cristiano Ronaldo missed a chance and saw a goal ruled out as Portugal beat Wales 1-0 thanks to João Félix's strike in the 22nd minute.
Cristiano Ronaldo, 41, says he consulted Pedro Proença and Jorge Jesus and believes his form still lets him help Portugal, whatever role he is given.
Cristiano Ronaldo, 41, told a Portugal press conference he wants to play another decade and hit 1,000 goals, as coach Jorge Jesus promised him a start against Wales.
The 41-year-old Portugal forward stands on 979 career goals and wants the record badly, while also targeting the Nations League under new coach Jorge Jesus.
Cristiano Ronaldo, 41, considered quitting Portugal after the World Cup but stays, aiming for 1,000 career goals and a Nations League title, he said.
Jorge Jesus says Cristiano Ronaldo starts in his first match as Portugal coach, a Nations League tie with Wales, but warns the place is not permanent.
At 72, Jesus makes his Portugal debut against Wales in Lisbon on Thursday, surpassing Fernando Santos as the national team's oldest coach.
Jorge Jesus kept Cristiano Ronaldo, 41, in his first Portugal squad for four Nations League games, extending his career beyond the World Cup exit.
A 2-0 away win at San Siro over Milan lifted Benfica and pushed Portugal to second in the race for an extra Champions League berth next season.
