The 34-year-old Portuguese talisman took a break from National duties after the conclusion of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia but returned earlier this year to play the qualifying matches for UEFA Euro 2020 against Ukraine and Serbia.

He had a decent season with Italian club Juventus as he scored 28 goals in 43 appearances across all competitions and was only able to get his hands on the Scudetto in his first season for the Old Lady.

For the National side, he has been delivering for more than a decade now as he is currently the top goalscorer for Portugal with 85 goals and would be eyeing to achieve the 100-goal mark before retiring. He also captained Portugal to their first ever major international title in the UEFA Euro 2016.

After achieving moderate success in his first season with Juventus, Ronaldo would be fired up to guide Portugal to nations league triumph and lift the trophy in front of the home crowd on Sunday at the Estadio do Dragao, Porto.
