Portugal goal poacher, Cristiano Ronaldo enjoyed another memorable night and achieved a milestone in his blistering career as Portugal lashes Lithuania 5-1 in Euro qualifiers.
It was another record-breaking night for the former Manchester United star, despite Robbie Keane’s best efforts to steer him away.
The Juventus forward netted four goals as Portugal beat Lithuania to take his overall tally to 25 in European qualifying – two more than the previous record set by former Republic of Ireland striker Keane.
Before the match, Keane asked Ronaldo to “leave this one” after pointing out the five-time Ballon d’Or winner was two goals away from his record.
“I think you have enough records, Cristiano!” Keane joked on Instagram.
But after scoring against his 150th different team for club and country, there was no stopping Ronaldo netting his eighth international hat-trick and stealing the limelight.
Ronaldo has now scored 93 international goals, 16 behind Iran legend Ali Daei’s world record in men’s football and is also the first European to score 90 goals for his country.
