The score of the two goals seemed to confirm that Ronaldo had not run out. CR7, Ronaldo’s nickname, shows that he can transfer his sharpness with Al Nassr to the national team.
Now Ronaldo and his friends will meet Luxembourg. On paper, Roberto Martinez’s team are clear favorites to win even though they are playing at the opponent’s base.
The opportunity to bring home positive results is also supported by Ronaldo’s good report card against Luxembourg. At the last meeting of the two teams in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, Ronaldo managed to score a hat trick.
Ronaldo has also always scored goals in the last four meetings against The Red Lions, nicknamed Luxembourg. At least one goal was netted by the collector of five Ballon d’Or titles.
In the last four meetings between Luxembourg and Portugal, Ronaldo scored six goals. The productivity of goals shows that Ronaldo will still be the main threat in the match later.
