Century for Cristiano! Ronaldo becomes just second player EVER to score 100 international goals as Juventus star reaches landmark with a sublime free-kick in Portugal's Nations League clash with Sweden... before adding another to move to 101

By -

Cristiano Ronaldo became just the second player ever to score 100 international goals with a sublime free-kick against Sweden before later adding his 101st.

The Juventus superstar was stuck on 99 since November but finally broke the duck in trademark spectacular fashion. 

It looked as though he would have to continue his wait after struggling with injury, but the captain started the game and emphatically struck from distance to put his side ahead on the stroke of half time.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a landmark 100 international goals with a sublime free kick 

After Sweden's Gustav Svensson was dismissed for second yellow card, he stepped up to rifle the free-kick into the top left corner.

His second in the 72nd minute was almost as spectacular, with the 35-year-old picking up the ball from Joao Felix to open his body up and bend a strike past goalkeeper Robin Olsen.

His 100th goal was a trademark stunning free-kick into the top left corner just before half time

Iran's Ali Daei still holds the record for the most international goals, with an incredible 109 from 149 caps. 

Ronaldo's former club Manchester United were quick to congratulate their former star, saying 'Congratulations to Cristiano on a century of international goals for Portugal'. 

Ronaldo is 14 goals ahead of Malaysia's Mokhtar Dahari in third, with Lionel Messi the nearest high-profile player on 70 goals for Argentina.

🇵🇹💯

This is the sickening scar left by Hollywood star Armie Hammer on his young lover after he branded her just millimeters away from her private parts. Using a sharp knife Hammer cut his first initial 'A' into her skin during a kinky sex game, which ex-lover Paige Lorenze insists got out of control. Seconds later the 6ft 5' inch screen idol - who has claimed he's '100% a cannibal' in vile Instagram messages to other women - then licked the blood from the wound. Lorenze shared the exclusive image with DailyMailTV as a stark warning to other women who might be seduced and manipulated by Hammer. The 22-year-old former professional skier turned Instagram model is speaking out about the ‘deeply traumatic’ four month relationship, which left her emotionally and physically scarred. And Lorenze exposes Hammer as an out of control narcissistic sexual deviant, whose wild fantasies and BDSM fueled desires which she says could ‘seriously injure another woman.’ The blond beauty...
