20 most important goals in Cristiano Ronaldo's career

#16 His second goal in the Nations League Semi-finals Portugal against Switzerland

The Portuguese talisman turned up for his team against Switzerland

Despite it being a newly instituted championship, Ronaldo will celebrate every milestone hit with Portugal with great enthusiasm. His performance for his national team in the Nations League was an inspiring bit of play that saw him take control of the time and arrow his team into the final.

Up against the resilient Swiss who had come into the semi-finals on the back of some stellar group performances, Ronaldo turned on a switch to become his devastating self on a big stage.

The Portuguese forward scored three on the night and the opening goal was a freekick arrowed into the bottom corner from range and is a lasting memory that will stick with anyone who saw him score it. It was the second that really proved to be the most important though, as Ricardo Rodriguez would equalise for the Swiss in the second half.

Portugal's best efforts didn't yield any results till Ronaldo turned up in the 88th minute to sweep the ball home and clinch the game for his country. He would score once again in the 90th minute to complete the set.
