Manchester United right-back Diogo Dalot has claimed that every Portugal player wants to see Cristiano Ronaldo win as many competitions as possible with the national team.
Ronaldo, 40, is the greatest player to have ever played for the Portuguese national team.
The former Manchester United star has created an exceptional legacy with the Portugal national team.
Ronaldo was instrumental as Portugal won two titles, including the 2016 Euro and the 2019 UEFA Nations League.
Wearing his national team colors, Ronaldo has scored 135 goals in 216 caps for the Seleção.
Now 40 years of age, the Al Nassr superstar no longer has many years left to win more trophies with his national team.
In an interview with reporters ahead of the Nations League quarter-final clash with Denmark, Dalot said everyone in the national team would like to see the former Real Madrid man win more titles with the team.
He said, “Obviously, it is difficult to find more adjectives to describe Cristiano. For me, and I believe for others too, it is a huge privilege to continue having him in the national team, to share moments, and to soak up the experience of his career. Obviously, there is this energy of wanting to see him win big competitions for Portugal.
“The love he has shown throughout his career cannot be questioned, and for us, using that as an example, it would be a beautiful story to see him win as many competitions as possible for Portugal. I believe that every player wants that.”
Dalot has played alongside Ronaldo on 61 occasions for club and country, recording one joint-goal participation.
