Titres: UEFA Euro 2020, UEFA Euro Qualifying, Portugal, Lithuania, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pelé
The Portuguese superstar scored one more hat-trick to help his national team's efforts to qualify to the 2020 UEFA Euro.

Cristiano Ronaldo is 12 goals away from making history, as he led Portugal to one more victory in the UEFA Euro Qualifiers.

The Portuguese footballer scored two goals in the first 30 minutes, and he went on to complete his hat-trick during the second half. Today's goals saw CR7 reach 98 international goals, but that was not the only interesting fact about this game, since he also accomplished a feat only Pelé had done previously.

These goals by Juve's striker also raised his hat-trick tally. Some might find it hard to believe that the footballer is three months away from reaching 36 years of age.

Here are some more numbers to show how impressive CR7 is in front of goal.
