In the Group J game of the ongoing Euro Cup 2024 qualifiers, Cristiano Ronaldo‘s Portugal took down Luxembourg by 9-0. Their star player, Ronaldo wasn’t available for the game thanks to his Yellow card accumulation in the earlier games. This meant that Ronaldo, carries the record of the highest victory margin (8-0 against Liechtenstein in 1994 and 1999, and against Kuwait in 2003, was out of the game.

Talking about the game, Goncalo Ramos, Goncalo Inacio, and Diogo Jota all scored twice along with goals for Ricardo Horta, Bruno Fernandes, and Joao Felix. Even though the 38-year-old, Ronaldo missed the chance of 123 international goals, he might get four more opportunities.

“It was perfect because the players had the same attitude from the first to the last minute,” Martinez said after the game. “They remained concentrated not only in attack but to ensure we kept a clean sheet. As a coach, I really liked the attitude of the players, and they have a place in the history of Portuguese football.

“For us, it’s a starting point. We have to continue to work and improve but the team has continuity. This group deserves to create history. The talent is at the highest level in world football. The attitude was always good from the first day. The victory was very important for us. The players on the bench have a clear idea of what they can add to the group. Everyone is ready to help the team.”
