Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo became the first European
to score 100 international goals in men’s football after a
brilliant free-kick against Sweden on Tuesday.
The former Real Madrid and Manchester United forward curled in a
stunning effort into the top corner from 25 yards to reach the
landmark as Portugal secured a 2-0 win over 10-man Sweden.
After 72 minutes, the Juventus forward curled in a second goal
from the edge of the penalty area.
Portugal who are the defending champions have now two wins from
their opening Nations League fixtures, and top the table ahead of
France, who beat Croatia 4-2 in Paris
