Right after Ronaldo converted the penalty, Speed started screaming and jumping around. He even slammed Nani on the head, probably by mistake. But, with Speed, who knows? However, Nani did not seem bothered. As the former Manchester United player was amused with Speed’s wild celebrations. Nani burst out laughing and had to leave the scene.

Ronaldo achieved another milestone in international soccer by making an appearance against Liechtenstein. It was his 197th cap in international soccer. He surpassed Kuwait’s Badr Al-Mutawa. Ronaldo celebrated the achievement in style by scoring a fantastic brace.
Joao Cancelo scored in the eighth minute and gave Portugal an early lead. There was controversy surrounding that goal as Ronaldo had the last touch on it due to a deflection. Many fans believed that Ronaldo should have got the goal. Nonetheless, Portugal got the goal either way and led early in the game.
The teams went into the break with Portugal leading 1-0. The team in red and green came out strong off the blocks in the second half as Bernardo Silva scored in the 47th minute. Ronaldo got on the scoresheet right after with a penalty in the 51st minute.

Just after the hour mark, Ronaldo was set to take a free kick from the coveted ‘Ronaldo range’. He converted the free kick and Speed went wild in the stands. However, this time Nani was not around to celebrate with him. It seemed like Nani was no fan of how Speed celebrated the penalty by tapping him on the head. So, he probably left him to watch the rest of the match alone.
Portugal will next face Luxembourg on Sunday, March 26, 2023. Ronaldo will look to stretch the record of most caps in international soccer by appearing in as many more games as possible.
