On his excellent goal, he said: “I am very happy. Firstly, because the team won, which was the goal we had. Then the 100 mark and then the 101, with two goals, makes me very happy.” “Now the future is only for God. I feel good, I feel good for playing with these young players.” The match against Sweden was played behind closed doors with the coronavirus pandemic still making it impossible for fans to attend games in most regions across Europe..
Ronaldo also spoke on it hurts to play without fans, the 35-year-old said: “Playing without fans is like going to the circus and not seeing clowns.” “It’s like going to the garden and not seeing flowers.” Portugal has now won both of their Nations League matches and sit top of group three in league A with a goal difference advantage over France who are also two from two.
The Portuguese and French will square off against each other on the 11th of October for the first time since they last played each other in the Euro finals which Portugal won.
