Cristiano Ronaldo continued his red-hot form in front of goal, adding another strike for Portugal in their UEFA Nations League clash against Robert Lewandowski’s Poland.
The evergreen forward netted his third consecutive goal in the competition, doubling Portugal’s advantage after Bernardo Silva had opened the scoring.
This season, Ronaldo has been on fire for both club and country, showing no signs of slowing down.
His impressive form carried over into Saturday’s match, where the Al-Nassr talisman came close to scoring as early as the 11th minute, only to see his effort rattle the crossbar.
1-0 Portugal.

However, Portugal’s attacking dominance soon paid off, as Roberto Martinez’s men found the breakthrough.
A well-crafted move saw Bruno Fernandes thread a perfect pass to Bernardo Silva, who calmly slotted home to give Portugal a deserved lead.

Yet, the 39-year-old also unveiled a fresh move: the “Padel slice.”
Having recently developed a passion for Padel tennis, Ronaldo incorporated his new hobby into his celebration, playfully mimicking a tennis stroke alongside teammate Diogo Dalot.
