FootballCristiano Ronaldo Becomes Joint Top Scorer in Euro 2024 Qualifiers, Fans React Online
- Social media has lauded Cristiano Ronaldo for becoming joint top scorer of the Euro 2024 qualifiers
- The Al-Nassr captain continued his red-hot form during Portugal's encounter against Liechtenstein
- Ronaldo's score against the Group J minnows took his total tally in the Euro qualifying stages to 10
Cristiano Ronaldo is purportedly in the twilight of his career, yet he continues to defy expectations, as evidenced by his recent goal for Portugal.
The Al-Nassr striker is on international duty for his nation, playing a pivotal role in their 2-0 victory at Liechtenstein in the Euro 2024 qualifiers.
Portugal, positioned undefeated at the summit of Group J, has already secured their place in next summer's tournament in Germany.
However, the Selecao are on track for a flawless qualifying record with 10 wins from as many games, and once again, Ronaldo was a central figure in their success.
Facing Liechtenstein on Thursday, the Euro 2016 champions were visiting but the five-time Ballon d'Or winner wasted no time getting on the scoresheet, per Talksport.
Diogo Jota delivered a precise through-ball to the charging 38-year-old forward, who skillfully placed his strike into the top of the net to open the account for Portugal.
This goal marked his 10th in the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, putting him on par with Belgium's Romelu Lukaku.

Fans were quick to praise the veteran's exceptional performance.
