Cristiano Ronaldo, considered one of the best players in the history of football, scored two great goals this Tuesday, June 11, in Portugal’s victory against the Irish team by 3 goals to 0.
This commitment, it is worth mentioning, was a friendly duel before the Euro 2024 that will take place in Germany. Cristiano Ronaldo, without a doubt, was the great figure of the commitment, but in addition to his talent on the field, stood out for a noble gesture that went viral through different social networks.
In the protocol acts, Cristiano Ronaldo shook hands with deep feeling to a girl with a health condition that prevents her full movement. After the noble gesture of the Portuguese star, he received thousands of applause in the stadium and on the same social networks.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who will play his last Euro Cup, not only stands out on the field for football, he also does so for his human aspect, which has been fundamental to building the career he has today.
This was the match between Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo
CR7’s first goal recalled his best times at Manchester United and Real Madrid: a defender dodged with a dribble followed by a remote-controlled shot into the top corner of the Irish goalkeeper’s long post (50).
The second was a dry shot again with his left foot that confirmed that he is still a fearsome finisher despite his departure to the Saudi club Al-Nassr last January (60). Portugal, under the command of coach Roberto Martínez, won all of its matches in the Euro Cup qualifying phase, with 36 goals scored and only 2 conceded.
“Given the expectations of the Portuguese, the margin of error is zero. Seeing this generation and the talent of their players, it is normal that they want the team to always win,” he added. “It’s good to keep your feet on the ground, but you have to aim for the sky“, continued the Portuguese star, who confessed that he “dreams” of a new European title after the one in 2016.
