What happens to Portugal now?

Portugal's national team will now need to adapt to playing without their record goalscorer. While Ronaldo's departure is significant, top national teams often have a strong pool of talent ready to step up. New strategies and younger players will likely emerge, potentially leading to a more collective style of play rather than relying on one star.
