- Story Text: Captain Cristiano Ronaldo acknowledged the pressure surrounding Portugal as they look to overturn a 1-0 deficit against Denmark in Sunday's (March 22) Nations League quarter-final second leg.
The Al-Nassr striker was highly critical of himself and his team's performance in the first leg in Copenhagen, where Portugal lost to a Rasmus Hojlund goal, but he is confident the home crowd can play a key role in turning the tie around.
Ronaldo denied any lack of attitude in the team and was confident they could unite and progress to the semi-finals.
