If Portugal stays alive, Cristiano can increase his personal best in the tournament, otherwise, he will have to do it in the qualifying rounds for the World Cup.
Cristiano Ronaldo gets closer and closer to be the maximum goal scorer of history at the national level. Yesterday against Israel in the last friendly before starting the Euro, the Portuguese 7 reached 104 goals with the Selection of Portugal, placing himself six goals from the mark.
With a resounding 4-0, Portugal beat Israel in the last game of preparation before starting his participation in the Euro. Bruno Fernandes scored a double, while Joao Cancelo rounded off the win, which was with Cristiano as the protagonist.
The United player was the one who opened the scoring at 42 minutes and then let Cristiano climb one more step in search of another record that he can achieve this year.
At 44 minutes, just before going to rest, on 7 Juventus scored the second goal to reach 104 goals with his country’s shirt and get five goals away from equaling Ali Daei, the greatest network-breaker in history. .
In the end it was Cancelo and again Fernandes who put the last two goals of the night and thus arrive at the continental event with the spirit in splendor.
In the most important fair in the Old Continent, Cristiano already has the mark of being the top scorer equaled with Platini, so by scoring a goal, he will become a solo leader and help him to add to overcome Daei.
The opportunity is presented in the group stage against Hungary, Germany and France, matches in which, if they have outstanding performances, they could be the new possessor of the achievement that the Iranian has so far.
If Portugal stays alive, Cristiano can increase his personal best in the tournament, otherwise he will have to do so in the qualifying rounds for the World Cup, which will resume in September.
