Ronaldo shines as Portugal crushes Denmark, sets record milestones
Cristiano Ronaldo, as the captain of the Portugal national team, led his team to the semifinals of the UEFA Nations League. The return match against Denmark in Lisbon was exceptional for him for three reasons, making it a memory he will cherish for the rest of his life.
The Portugal national team approached the return match of the UEFA Nations League not in the best spirits. They had lost the first match 0-1 after Rasmus Hojlund scored and performed Cristiano Ronaldo's traditional celebration.
The day before the rematch, during a press conference, the captain of the Portugal national team said: "But I hope tomorrow he can see my celebration." And that’s what happened, although the beginning wasn't easy. In the 6th minute, CR7 missed a penalty, but his team ultimately won 5-2, and he scored one of the goals.
Cristiano Ronaldo will remember the match against Denmark forever
The victory left a lasting impression on the Portuguese team for several reasons. Before the game, Cristiano Ronaldo was honored with a certificate for breaking the Guinness World Record for the most victories with a national team in history. The certificate displayed the number "132," but after yesterday's triumph, the count increased to 133.
Another remarkable milestone for Cristiano Ronaldo is that the victory over Denmark made him the player with 840 wins in his entire career. No other player has achieved this more times.
The third reason this match was exceptional for the captain of the Portugal national team is that he scored his 929th career goal. Additionally, he currently leads the scoring standings of the ongoing UEFA Nations League edition with six goals and one assist. In the tournament's semifinals, Portugal will face Germany, and in the other match, Spain will compete against France.
