  WHAT HAPPENED?

  The Portuguese icon is accustomed to being the star of any given show, with his glittering track record proving that he can always be relied upon to deliver when it matters most.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Ronaldo made the difference in that contest, as he registered the only goal of the game in the 81st minute. He went on to break out a new celebration – one which combines the leap of his famous ‘Siuuu’ routine, while adding in the crossing of hands over his chest that has become synonymous with his “sleeping” ritual.

• WHAT RONALDO SAID

  Ronaldo’s dramatic winner, which was prodded into the top corner from six yards out, has ensured that he makes more headlines around the world. He has, however, been quick to hail collective efforts in a social media post. CR7 has said: “Kicking off the round of 16 with a win! Good work, team!”
