With Seleçao leading to the half-time, Ronaldo has took on again to his responsibilities and scored his second goal (72th). The 101st with Portugal shirt.

Portugal won it to 2-0 and tops the Nations league’s group 3 standings.

Thanks to that brace, Cristiano Ronaldo is just 8 goals away from Ali Daei who scored 109 goals for Iran.

“I managed to beat this milestone of 100 goals and now (I’ll go) for the record. It’s step-by-step. I am not obsessed because I believe the records come in a natural way,” Ronaldo said.

Moreover, CR7 talked about his injury that prevent him from playing Croatia clash.

“When I had this problem in my toe I always knew that I could recover for this second game. I like to be here, with this group of players, coach, staff and knew that they would play well in the first game as our squad is too good and no one is irreplaceable.”

In addition, former Manchester United skipper will be eager to get closer to Daei’s record. As Portugal will play three games in October against Spain (friendly) France and Sweden (Nations League).
