Aging like a fine wine in all senses. Cristiano Ronaldo was not necessarily in the headlines for Portugal after their cruising win, but the legendary Portuguese did equal yet another record last night in his side’s 3-0 win against Turkey on Saturday.
The Al-Nassr forward was on sight of an easy goal in the second half, but opted to pass it down to teammate Bruno Fernandes, as Ronaldo notched up an assist, as Portugal reigned supreme over the Turks.
