Ronaldo has been left off international duties with Portugal who will face Croatia in a friendly and Italy in a Nations League clash during the international break.

The 33-year-old has instead chosen to spend some time with his partner Rodriguez during the international break.

The sun-kissed couple is seen in an Instagram post cuddling up to each other as they relax on the yacht.

“How nice to feel a warm hug when you're cold❣️ #TeAmo @cristiano,” Rodriguez wrote on her Instagram alongside the photo.

Difficult start

Spending time with his partner could also help Ronaldo take his mind off his difficult star at Juventus where he has failed to score in his three competitive appearances for the Serie A giants.

Since joining Juventus in a £100m switch from Real Madrid, Ronaldo has failed to score despite having 23 shots on goal.
