'Incredible' Cristiano Ronaldo goals hailed as 'something to show the children' by Roberto Martinez after Al-Nassr star bags brace in Portugal win

Ronaldo took down a long pass and sent the ball curling into the top corner with a sublime finish to double his team's lead in the second half before rounding off the scoring with his second of the game, much to Martinez's delight.

The friendly was Portugal's last game before their first match of Euro 2024 and sends them into the competition high in confidence. While Martinez says he has not yet decided whether or not Ronaldo will be in the starting XI for their first game, he was amazed by his performance on Tuesday.

"Cristiano's commitment as captain is incredible," Martinez said. "Today we saw two world-class finishes, but what I liked was the work and trying to assist. He has two goals, he's in the box and the The first option is to watch, it shows solidarity, companionship and important values in a locker room to go to a European Championship. I really liked that. The finishes are something to keep and show to the children, because they are incredible."

The 39-year-old forward will hope to convince Martinez to name him in the starting XI when Portugal come up against Czech Republic on June 18. They will then come up against Turkey and Georgia in their other group stage matches.
