Ronaldo helps Portugal 'breaks Hungary hearts'

The records just keep coming for Cristiano Ronaldo.

He has only played one match in Euro 2020 and has already collected another two moments of history.

His first came by just stepping on the pitch against Hungary on Tuesday as he became the first player to appear at five men's European Championships.

We had to wait a while for his second moment as he looked to become the tournament's record goalscorer.

He blazed over from six yards out in the first half, but was not to be denied as he converted an 87th-minute penalty to overtake Michel Platini's mark of nine European Championship goals.

But the 36-year-old Juventus superstar, who helped Portugal win Euro 2016, was not done yet as he went around goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi in injury time for his 11th goal at a Euros to seal Portugal's 3-0 victory.
