Rafael Leão Chooses Best Goal of the Match: “It was Cristiano Ronaldo's”



The AC Milan forward analyzed the 5-1 defeat against Poland this Friday, speaking to RTP about qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Nations League.


Moment of the first goal: “We were in a bit of trouble, Bruno Fernandes got the ball back, he's an important midfielder for us. I raised my head and saw that there was space, I drove the ball forward and then Nuno Mendes found me with his eyes closed. It was a collective effort that we managed to finish off with the goal, which paved the way for victory.”


Weak first half: “We couldn't impose the game in the first half. The coach's approach in the locker room was important, it was the key to the game to change the pressure at half-time. They opened up space on the wings, we managed to change that in the second half, we took the ball away. The second half was all Portugal.


Goal you liked best: “It was Cris's [Ronaldo] bicycle kick. When we play like this it opens up space for everyone to shine and we're all to be congratulated. Pedro Neto also deserved the goal, Bruno Fernandes was good too. When we play like this we all have to be happy”.
