Cristiano Ronaldo one goal closer to international record after Portugal thrash Andorra – in pictures

Cristiano Ronaldo moved another goal closer to the all-time international record on Wednesday after scoring for Portugal in a 7-0 thrashing of Andorra. Ronaldo, 33, came on a substitute during the friendly in Lisbon to net his 102nd goal for Portugal in the 85th minute. Former Iran striker Ali Daei holds the record on 109 goals. Portugal, who continue the preparations for their European Championship title defence next year with a Nations League game with France on Saturday, were expected to have a comfortable outing against Andorra and so it proved. Wolves winger Pedro Neto, making his debut, gave Portgual an early lead, before a double from Paulinho, either side of a Renato Sanches strike, made it four. Emili Garcia scored an own goal with 14 minutes to play. Ronaldo was introduced at half-time but had to wait until five minutes from the end to boost his record bid, before Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix wrapped up the scoring. The 35-year-old Ronaldo tested positive for coronavirus on October 13 when last with the Portugal squad, going on to miss the 3-0 victory over Sweden.
