In a pre-Euro 2024 friendly match, Portugal defeated the Republic of Ireland 3-0 thanks to a spectacular goal by Cristiano Ronaldo. The forward for Al-Nassr scored twice in preparation for what might be his last significant international competition.
With a terrifying offensive lineup that includes Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, and Rafael Leao, Roberto Martinez’s team is among the favorites to win the trophy they last won in 2016. With the Czech Republic, Turkey, and Georgia in Group F, there will be pressure on the country to place first and go to the knockout stages.
In spite of his advanced age and concerns about his ability to play consistently for his nation, Ronaldo asserted his right to start in the lineup for the Euro 2024 opener ahead of Diogo Jota of Liverpool and Goncalo Ramos of Paris Saint-Germain.
Ronaldo’s Objective From Different Perspectives
Before Ronaldo showed he was ready for the forthcoming international competition with a spectacular strike into the far corner, Joao Felix had opened the score in the first half in Portugal. At first, the goal appeared amazing, but supplemental video captured by spectators has revealed just how amazing it was.
Following a deft long ball trap, the Portuguese sensation stepped over the defender twice to get by him and then unleashed a brutish attempt with his left foot into the far corner. The ball rocketed past Caoimhin Kelleher of Liverpool, who was glued to the spot in the Irish goal.
One of the most dangerous forwards in global football, the Real Madrid and Manchester United icon increased his score in the last match before the tournament began with another left-footed goal, this one into the opposite top corner. Ronaldo has shown that he is among the best two-footed players in the world of football, and his outstanding heading skills can even cause injuries to opponents.
