Cristiano Ronaldo has joined his Portugal teammates on the training ground as he prepares to make a record-breaking sixth appearance at the FIFA World Cup. The 39-year-old forward, who captains the national side, took part in drills and tactical sessions under the watchful eye of coach Roberto Martínez.
Ronaldo's participation marks another milestone in his storied career, as he becomes the first men's player to feature in six World Cup tournaments. Portugal, the 2016 European champions, will be aiming to improve on their best World Cup finish of third place in 1966.
Fans gathered outside the training complex to catch a glimpse of the Al Nassr star, who showed characteristic intensity and sharpness during the workout. His experience will be vital for a squad blending seasoned veterans with emerging talents like João Félix and Rafael Leão.
Portugal's World Cup campaign begins later this month, with Ronaldo expected to lead the line in his quest for international glory.
