The screenplay is so perfect that one would imagine it being written by Cristiano Ronaldo himself. CR7 celebrated its 200th selection by scoring the only goal in Portugal’s late success in Iceland (0-1) on Tuesday in the Euro 2024 qualifiers.
The five-time Ballon d’Or, served with a header by Gonçalo Inacio, was even entitled to a breather in the 89th minute, since his 123rd international achievement was only validated after recourse to VAR.
Still a no-fault for Portugal
“It’s an incredible achievement, reacted the hero of the evening (38 years old) about this 200th cap, a total never before reached in the history of football (no more than 123 goals). I’m even in the Guinness Book, it’s really amazing. And scoring the winning goal is even more special. »
Especially since this success allows Portugal to continue their perfect course after four days of qualifying, and to retain the lead in Group J, two points ahead of Slovakia.
