Portugal defender Rúben Dias on Saturday said his team had wanted to dedicate a win to Al-Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo.
Dias stated this while admitting it “hurts” to lose at home to Denmark on what he called a tribute night for Ronaldo.
Portugal were defeated 4-1 in the UEFA Nations League clash in Braga.
The match was Portugal's first game after Ronaldo announced his retirement from international football.
Speaking after the match, Dias, who currently plays his club football for Manchester City, said, “We wanted to dedicate a special win to Cristiano Ronaldo and then to all Portuguese fans, so it hurts to lose at home.
“It was a tribute night for Cris," he stated.
