Cristiano Ronaldo insists "nothing is achieved" despite Portugal taking one step closer to their "great objective" of World Cup qualification.
The Manchester United superstar, 37, played the full 90 minutes as Fernando Santos' side overcame Turkey with a 3-1 victory on Thursday night. Ronaldo lined up with Diogo Jota in attack and the Liverpool forward scored Portugal's second goal, with Otavio and Matheus Nunes also on the scoresheet for the hosts at the Estadio do Dragao.
The result sees Portugal progress to the final qualifying round on Tuesday, where they might have expected to face Italy. However, the defending European champions suffered a shock defeat by North Macedonia, meaning they will not be present at the World Cup for the second tournament in a row.
