Cristiano Ronaldo played only half of the match between Portugal and Andorra as he was not in 100% of his physical condition. Likewise, when he entered, he again showed that he is still one of the best players in the world and that with a while enough to demonstrate his superiority. The problem for which he could be suspended arose when Cristiano Ronaldo was on the substitute bench.

FIFA has a strict protocol against COVID 19 and for this reason it obliges all players and members of the coaching staff who are not playing the game to wear a mask. Cristiano Ronaldo had already been warned by FIFA in Portugal's last match when he did not have his mask on when he was off the pitch.

Against Andorra, Cristiano Ronaldo started on the substitute bench and entered the second half and as usual scored a goal. When he was watching his teammates, television captured the moment in which the Portuguese was without the mask and this could cause him problems. FIFA could fall directly on Cristiano Ronaldo or on the Portuguese Federation.

The Portugal team cannot afford to expose Cristiano Ronaldo to an alleged sanction since he is the most important player on the team. Portugal against Andorra was a friendly but in the coming weeks they will have to face a new Nations League date. Cristiano Ronaldo must be more attentive to security protocols since it can harm the entire Portugal team. The next date of the Nations Legaue, Portugal will have to face France and Croatia.
