Ronaldo defeats the Republic of Ireland in Portugal's last warm-up match for Euro 2024.
With a magnificent double, Cristiano Ronaldo declared himself ready for Euro 2024 as Portugal defeated Republic of Ireland 3-0 in a friendly match to wrap off their preparations.
With his 129th and 130th international goals, the 39-year-old celebrated his 207th senior cap. Earlier, he had struck the post with a deflected free-kick.
The second round of John O'Shea's interview for the position of Ireland head coach came to a sombre conclusion as the Al Nassr forward's goals in the 50th and 60th minutes, combined with Joao Felix's first-half opening, handed the hosts a convincing victory in Aveiro.
As he looks to win the European Championships for a second time after taking home the trophy in 2016, Ronaldo will now be hoping to maintain his goal-scoring form in Germany this summer.
Tuesday, June 18, marks the start of Roberto Martinez's team's Euro 2024 Group F campaign against the Czech Republic in Leipzig. After that, they will play Turkey and Georgia.
