Championships which will be the evergreen forward’s fifth.
The Juventus forward scored his 99th international goal when he tapped home Portugal’s second and final goal against Luxembourg, a result which ensured that they would be able to defend their title as Europe’s elite international side.

We had two games we had to win. I am very happy that we won, and qualified for my fifth European Championships.
