Ronaldo in a hundred – Sweden humiliated with two dream goals – VG

However, the super forward did not give up. He hammered into another dream goal. He is now only eight goals away from breaking the world record.

– Some players do not even achieve 100 goals throughout their career. It’s not even just about the club’s goals, it’s the national team. It’s crazy, says her former partner Rio Ferdinand in a message.

The adventure that Cristiano Ronaldo started 16 years ago. In Stockholm, the superstar reached a new milestone in his incredible career, in the Nations League, against Sweden. He hit perfectly with the free kick from 20 meters. All the world I knew what came. But no one could help it.

The ball did not sit completely glued to the cross. But it was not far. And the then very good Swedish goalkeeper Robin Olsen had no chance seconds before the half time signal at Friends Arena. And it was a goal that shook the Swedes in every possible way.

Gustav Svensson took the free-kick. But not only that. He received his second yellow card. On the way to the shower he was able to hear Ronaldo’s meeting. With ten men to 11 in a round, the task became desperate for Sweden, who lost their second straight home game at Friends.

Pot full also for France

Ronaldo returned after a break against Croatia (presumably due to wasp stings) where Portugal convinced with 4-1. The victory over Sweden was the national team’s ninth in the last ten games. 31 goals have nailed the rivals.

And when we talk about statistics for the first time; Ronaldo is the winner again. Against Sweden it has had a habit of wreaking havoc. Seven in all. Who does not remember his hat-trick against the Swedes in the World Cup play-off (2013). It was an unforgettable match between him and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. It ended 3-2 for Ronaldo. And Zlatan with his two goals showed greatness when he applauded the phenomenon of Portugal.

Portugal also deservedly won over Sweden this time. Ronaldo had two great chances before scoring with a magnificent 16-meter shot at 2-0. Bruno Fernandes also hit the crossbar.
