Ronaldo Eyes Nations League Glory on Home Soil

By Daily Sports on June 9, 2019

Cristiano Ronaldo is eyeing a second international title with Portugal as the Euro 2016 champions prepare for the Nations League final against Netherlands.

Portugal and Netherlands will do battle in Sunday’s decider after Ronaldo's hat-trick saw off Switzerland 3-1 in the semi-finals.

Ronaldo – who featured in the Euro 2004 final loss to Greece – helped Portugal to European glory three years ago and the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has set his sight on victory in his third international decider.

“When I pull on the shirt of the national team, it’s a huge honour for me and it’s a different feeling than it is playing for clubs,” Ronaldo told UEFA.com.

“It’s our country: my family is Portuguese, my friends too. I grew up in Portugal, so it’s special to put on the shirt of the national team. And obviously, the chance to fight for trophies makes it even more special – like it was in Euro 2004 and Euro 2016, and how this competition will be now.

“Three finals and I hope to win two of the three. That would be fantastic and I have hope − so does the team. We are positive; we are playing at home.

“I hope the stadium will be great, that there will be good energy, that this energy will be transmitted to us, and that everyone can be confident, because we will try to give our best. Together, we can become champions.”

Ronaldo dazzled in the semis, with his brilliant treble sending Portugal through to the inaugural Nations League final. (Goal)
