According to Mundo Deportivo, Ibrahimovic criticized Ronaldo for leaving the Portugal national team training camp and believes he should not let his ego destroy his professional legacy.

Recently, the Portuguese national team's harmony was disrupted. Ronaldo left the national team training camp following a disagreement with coach Jorge Jesus, citing unspecified reasons.

The incident stemmed from a UEFA Nations League match against Norway. Although Ronaldo warmed up, he ultimately did not play. Unable to accept his substitute status, he became further frustrated when Jesus stated at the press conference that Ronaldo would also not play in Copenhagen. Ronaldo subsequently left the Portugal squad, wishing his teammates good luck via social media and posting: "The truth will come out when the time is right."

Regarding this controversy, opinion is divided. Some believe Ronaldo is justified, including former Real Madrid teammates; others, including players within the Portugal locker room, believe it demonstrates a lack of self-awareness. When asked about the matter, Ibrahimovic stated that he respects Ronaldo and his professional achievements but questioned how Ronaldo is managing the end of his career.

Ibrahimovic said: "I respect Ronaldo. I respect everything he has done and his mentality to win every competition. Fans, the world, and football will miss him. That is the truth. But he doesn't need to destroy the legacy he built with his ego. You should leave the stage when you're at your peak. Leaving the Portugal training camp without communicating with any teammates? That is disrespect."

Ibrahimovic also drew from his own experience: "He needs to understand that he is no longer young. Look at me—I was young too, and I competed. Then I retired. Even a lion knows when the hunt is over."
