Cristiano Ronaldo moved closer to his "dream" of finally landing Portugal a major international title after squeezing past Poland 5-3 on penalties in the first Euro 2016 quarter-final in Marseille on Thursday night.
Ronaldo endured a frustrating night in front of goal in his quest to match Michel Platini's record of nine Euros finals goals. Portugal drew 1-1 with Poland at the end of 120 minutes of play.
However, Ronaldo netted from the spot in the shootout to edge towards a crowning glory for what he described as an already "privileged" career, having won three Champions League titles and three World Player of the Year awards.
The dream is getting closer and anything can happen now. I'm not missing anything (in honours) and even if my career finished today, I would still feel privileged," said the Real Madrid star.
"But I've always said, and I don't hide it, that I would love to win a title with the national team. We're on the right road."
