Last night was a most historic night in Cristiano Ronaldo’s incredible career.
The Portuguese legend scored his 100th and 101st international goals as he led his country to a 2-0 victory over Sweden.
He also did it with style.
His 100th was an incredible free kick. His second was a shout from outside the box.
Not bad.
It puts him seven goals behind the most prolific international scorer in football history: Ali Daei, who scored 109 goals for Iran.
It’s only a matter of time before Ronaldo breaks that record, right?
At 35, it’s quite surprising that Ronaldo is still producing these kinds of moments.
And these kinds of performances.
It wasn’t just his two goals that drew attention, his overall display was superb.
In fact, a video of their individual highlights during Portugal’s win is being shared on social media, and it’s a pleasure to watch.
Reminder, he is 35 years old and has not played in a month.
