Cristiano Ronaldo revealed his delight at his 100th and 101st Portugal goals on social media on Tuesday.
Ronaldo scored a brace against Sweden in a 2-0 away Nations League win.
At the same Stockholm stadium where the forward scored a hat-trick in 2014 World Cup qualifying, his first was a stunning free-kick to bring up a century in international football.
Ronaldo was not done there, though, and curled in a fine second, with Ali Daei’s record tally of 109 goals for Iran within his sights.
The Portugal captain posted on Instagram: “Huge pride in this historical goal for our national team!
“When they tell me I can reach 100, I say it’s not enough… 101 goals for Portugal.”
