Ronaldo sets new record in Nations League

Date:

Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, set a new record after scoring in their 2-1 win over Germany in the Nations League semi-final on Wednesday.

Ronaldo led his country into Sunday’s final with his 137th international goal.

Florian Wirtz had put the hosts ahead with a brilliant header from Joshua Kimmich’s pass three minutes into the second-half.

But a triple change from Roberto Martinez turned the game on its head.

Francisco Conceição broke through to curl a sublime effort past Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and level the game.

Five minutes later, Ronaldo tapped home Nuno Mendes’ low cross.

That goal also saw Ronaldo break the record for the most goals in a single Nations League A campaign, having notched seven strikes.

That is one more than previous joint-holders Romelu Lukaku and Ferran Torres managed in the 2021/2022 campaign.
