The script is so perfect that you might imagine it being written by Cristiano Ronaldo himself. Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated his 200th selection by scoring the winning goal for Portugal against Iceland (0-1) on Tuesday during the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers.
The five-time Ballon d'Or, headed by Gonzalo Inacio, was treated to little suspense in the 89th minute, as his 123rd international achievement was only verified after resorting to VAR.
Always flawless for Portugal
“It is an amazing achievement,” the evening’s hero (38 years old) commented on his 200th match, an unprecedented number in the history of football (no more than 123 goals). It's been in the Guinness Book of World Records, it's really unbelievable. And scoring the winning goal is even more special. »
Especially since this success allows Portugal to continue its perfect run after four days of qualifying, and maintain its lead in Group Ten, two points ahead of Slovakia.
