Portugal had just finished another training session ahead of their UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers against Luxembourg and Ukraine last month and returned to their hotel in Cascais, on the outskirts of Lisbon, when manager Fernando Santos received a visit from a longtime friend who had arrived from Greece.
Besides catching up, the friend was also interested in getting Cristiano Ronaldo to sign a shirt.
A short while later, the guest met Ronaldo in a reserved area and, among other things, asked the Juventus star where he was from.
The 34-year-old ace replied, in the most natural tone, that he's from Madeira.
