Nations League: Ronaldo breaks new record after scoring winner against Germany
Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, set a new record after scoring in their 2-1 win over Germany in the Nations League semi-final on Wednesday.
Ronaldo led his country into Sunday’s final with his 137th international goal.
Florian Wirtz had put the hosts ahead with a brilliant header from Joshua Kimmich’s pass three minutes into the second-half.
But a triple change from Roberto Martinez turned the game on its head.
Francisco Conceição broke through to curl a sublime effort past Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and level the game.
Five minutes later, Ronaldo tapped home Nuno Mendes’ low cross.
That goal also saw Ronaldo break the record for the most goals in a single Nations League A campaign, having notched seven strikes.
That is one more than previous joint-holders Romelu Lukaku and Ferran Torres managed in the 2021/2022 campaign.
Germany, Nations League, ronaldo,
