Portugal have qualified for the final of the UEFA Nations League after beating Switzerland 3-1 last night in Porto behind a stunning performance from Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the 58th hat-trick of his legendary career.
“He is a genius,” Portugal coach Fernando Santos said after the match. “There are genius painters and genius sculptors, but he is a genius of football.”
Not only did he almost single-handedly lead Portugal to the win, he did so with three amazing goals. The first was an unstoppable free-kick in the first-half followed by a perfectly placed right-foot finish inside the box in the second half when the game was level with just three more minutes to go before extra-time.
He completed his hat-trick near the 90th minute mark, completing a quick counter-attack that saw him dribble past the last man of the Swiss defence and fire a ‘missile’ into the back of Yann Sommer’s net.
