    Ronaldo scored two goals as Portugal fired five past Poland to cement their place at the top of their Nations League group on Friday. Rafael Leao opened the scoring for his side before the Portugal captain converted a penalty in the 72nd minute to double his team's lead.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    With the win over a sorry Poland side, Ronaldo made it 132 victories with his country and moved past former Real Madrid team-mate Sergio Ramos to become the player with the most wins in international football. The Al-Nassr star is also the most-capped player in history and has scored the most goals (135) in international football.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Manchester United skipper Fernandes looked ordinary in the first half and missed a simple chance to break the deadlock. However, he made amends for the mistake by converting a world-class strike from nearly 25 yards out.
