Cristiano Ronaldo continues to redefine standards with Portugal brace 🤯 | OneFootball

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to redefine footballing standards after his exploits during Portugal’s rout over Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner scored twice in the opening 20 minutes for Roberto Martínez’s side during Monday’s Euro 2024 qualifier

A fifth-minute penalty saw him rack up a 160th successful spot-kick conversion in all competitions, but he refused to stop there.

Ronaldo’s dinked finish for the Seleção’s second of the evening took his tally in qualifying to a nine goals in seven games – a feat only matched by Romelu Lukaku.

More than that, it also nudged the 38-year-old ahead of Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé for the most goals scored across 2023.

The Manchester City striker has plundered 39 strikes in the current calendar year while his PSG counterpart has hit 35.

Portugal went on to rack up a five-goal hammering of their hosts before half-time to seal a 100% qualification record with eight straight wins.
