At 36, Cristiano Ronaldo really has no intention of showing signs of slowing down.
The phenomenon scored three goals yesterday (Tuesday) in Portugal's 0: 5 victory over Luxembourg (8 ', 13', 87 ') - and became the all-time top scorer in the national teams.
It was the 58th goal in the Portuguese's career, with 44 of them in the Real Madrid uniform, three in the Juventus uniform, one in the Manchester United uniform, and ten as mentioned in the Portugal national team uniform.
Cristiano has scored 38 goals in 2021 so far, with only Robert Lewandowski (50) and Arling Holland (41) ahead of him.

At the end of the game, Ronaldo wrote on social media: "Another victory, another step towards our goal, another historic night in our national uniform! Everything is made easier when you play at home in front of the crowd that pushes you from the first moment to the last. I promise I will always strive for more and more. My DNA and that of the team, we are never satisfied, we never give up and we always fight for how much we can achieve. Come on Portugal! "
After six World Cup qualifiers Portugal is in second place in first place after Serbia, with 16 points and a game in hand.
It would have been a different story if this went in.
That first touch was even better than the attempt.
