  WHAT HAPPENED?

  The five-time Ballon d'Or winner had a wonderful season in the Saudi Pro League with Al-Nassr as he finished as the top scorer in the league. However, that form has not transferred to his Euro 2024 campaign as he has only managed to secure one assist and failed to find the back of the net in the group stages of the competition. Regardless, he has sent a message on Instagram ahead of Portugal's last-16 clash against Slovenia.

However, Martinez has maintained that the five-time Champions League winner will not be left out.
