Ronaldo's 100th (magnificent) goal for Portugal on video

Immortal.

And still so monstrous.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th goal for Portugal on Tuesday, against Sweden in the Nations League in Solna, and is a little closer to the absolute record of Iranian Ali Daei (109 goals in the national team).

At 35, the five-time Golden Ball and star striker of Juventus Turin scored the 1-0 goal on a free kick sanctioning a foul by Svensson in the 45th minute of play.

Before the meeting with Sweden, Cristiano Ronaldo had not replayed since early August and the scathing elimination of Juventus Turin by Olympique Lyonnais in the round of 16 of the Champions League.

Suffering from an infection in the right foot and placed on antibiotics, the star of Juventus of Turin had to forfeit Saturday's match against Croatia, on the first day of the League of Nations, which Portugal won with brio (4-1) despite the absence of its captain.

By coincidence, it was against this same Sweden that in 2013 he was able to equal Pauleta's record for Portuguese national team goals - 47 goals - in the return trip from the 2014 World Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored the first goal of his career in the national team more than sixteen years ago, on June 12, 2004, in the opening match of the Euro against Greece.

He was 19 years old at the time.
