Ronaldo looks to keep run going
There is not much new that can be said about Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo’s phenomenal international scoring record, but remarkably the veteran still shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. The 39-year-old’s goal in the 3-1 victory over Poland on Matchday 3 was his 133rd in total for his country, and he has now scored in each of the Seleรงรฃo’s 2024/25 Nations League games as they top Group A1. “Cristiano is an asset; he’s an incredible player,” beamed coach Roberto Martรญnez. “In front of goal, he’s very important and allows the team to have more chances because he’s very clever at opening up spaces.”
Attempting to stop Ronaldo next will be a Scotland team who can consider themselves unfortunate to have lost all three of their matches in the section so far, despite scoring four times. Following their latest 2-1 defeat by Croatia, coach Steve Clarke defiantly said: “The performance was good; we played well and we created chances, but I’m disappointed we didnโt get anything from it. We have to keep believing and keep pushing forward. Things will change.” Will the Tartan Army’s luck turn in Glasgow?
