HIGHLIGHTS | Portugal 2-1 Ireland - 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifier

This man was born to play football.Incredible passion for the game and for his country.

What a player. Hope he will not retire for another 5 years, he is only getting better with age. He scored his last 50 International goals in less than 50 matches. That's 1+ goal ratio. Incredible!

CR7's movement for the second goal is amazing. He is behind the man but reads what's coming and steps in front at just the last minute to steal the ball away, leaving the defense clueless what just happened. The anticipation, timing and the movement. His football intelligence is of another level when compared to a normal international. It's the difference between good and great.

The dedication is just unmatched. He’s like a kid just starting out for a big team every single time he steps on the football pitch.

This match just made me respect Ronaldo much more. Never gives up always finds a way to score. Broke the international goalscoring record. He may not be the player he once was but he's still one of the greatest for sure. This is coming from a Messi fan, the Ronaldo we are seeing rn proves he still has that goalscoring ability he once had in his prime which is unreal

Scores in 95th minute, absolute gem of a player he is the best

what I admire about Ronaldo when it comes about playing for his national team, he never backs up and never rejects to play for his team, no matter if it's just an exhibition match or qualifying stage and etc. he probably missed just a few games over the course of last 17-18 years.

This guys a beast. He will be playing at the highest level into his 40's.

Big props to Gavin Bazunu, 19 years old up in front of one of the world's greatest players. And he saved Ronaldo's penalty! Big achievement for a young man!

Damn he really is the main character in his life

Really amazing for second goal. He is aware his position and immediately step back and take correct position within a few seconds. Ronaldo is really a genius.

Cristiano is always there when his team needs him the most, it's not about just scoring goals it's more about scoring the most important ones that's why he's the GOAT 🐐

I don't care how old he is, he is amazing! Also, O'Shea deserved the slap. The Irish goal keeper is excellent. Viva Ronaldo!

He is worth be depend on whenever you need a comeback. His mentality bring spirit for the team when they need it the most. 🔥

Well played Ireland. With love from India. 🇮🇳

Ronaldo’s suspension is out of this world. He does this all the time when it’s needed the most. Hala Madrid. It’s so great to see two Madrid legends Pepe and Ronaldo play together against. The love is genuine.. Hala Madrid

"In the final minutes of the game against Ireland, Cristiano Ronaldo drinking a glass of water on the edge of the pitch told me 'Don't worry, we'll win' I looked at the stadium screen it was 88 minutes. I thought 'What?' Didn't say anything but in the end we won 2-1 He scored both goals, one at the 89th minute and the other at 90+6."

Ireland had an amazing match, they gave 100% of their ability, unfortunately faced a Ronaldo who usually transitions into a mindset of coming back from a defeat no matter what. So many matches where he has done this, most memorable against Sweden a few years back, Spain in the World Cup, Netherlands in the EUROs and so on...

Incredible Ronaldo! Man United would be very delighted to have him back!
