Cristiano Ronaldo tucked away a penalty and slammed home a free-kick as he set a new record for the most international caps in Portugal's 4-0 win over Liechtenstein in their opening Euro 2024 qualifier.

Ronaldo celebrated his 197th cap, surpassing Kuwait's Bader Al-Mutawa, with a double as he returned to the starting line-up for their Group J qualifier at the Jose Alvalade Stadium.

He converted a 51st-minute penalty his first goal against the tiny Alpine principality as the home side went 3-0 up and added the fourth with a trademark free-kick that bent back the hands of visiting goalkeeper Benjamin Buchel.

Ronaldo back in the spotlight? How stupid is this. I understand why they bet on him before - https://melbet001.com/ But it seems to me that he does not need such fame now. In general, I believe that they are both tired of such a comparison. I even heard it in an interview with Messi.
