Last night was yet another historic night in the incredible career of Cristiano Ronaldo.The Portuguese legend scored his 100th - and 101st - international goals as he led his country to a 2-0 victory over Sweden.He did it in style, too.His 100th was an incredible free-kick. His second was a screamer from outside the box.Not bad.It puts him within seven goals of the most prolific international goalscorer in football history - Ali Daei, who scored 109 goals for Iran.It’s just a matter of time before Ronaldo breaks that record, isn't it?
At 35-years-old, it’s pretty amazing that Ronaldo is still producing these sort of moments.And these sort of performances.It wasn’t just his two goals that caught the attention, his overall display was magnificent.In fact, a video of his individual highlights during Portugal’s victory is being shared on social media - and it’s a joy to watch.Reminder, he’s 35-years-old and hasn’t played for one month.Check it out:
