Cristiano Ronaldo tribute leaves mother in tears after Manchester United star extends record

Cristiano Ronaldo’s mother couldn’t help but burst into tears as she watched her son produce another masterclass for Portugal.

The Manchester United star was on fire once again as he scored twice for his country in their 4-0 Nations League victory over Switzerland.
