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.
