Ronaldo had to cop a fair amount of criticism after blunt performances against Germany and Denmark in Portugal’s opening two games, with rumblings of international retirement being banded about in the press. However, like all great players, CR7 has bounced back to show his worth when it matters, with man-of-the-match performances and three goals against Netherlands and Czech Republic.

After a record-setting domestic season with Real Madrid expectations on the ex-Manchester United forward have gone through the roof, as Portugal rely on the attacker heavily to provide a cutting-edge in the last third. Although Paulo Bento’s men have recorded some good victories in their last games, they will need to step up another level to compete with and challenge world champions Spain.

Ronaldo will know his opponents on Wednesday well, as he will be in direct competition with Los Blancos team-mates Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Alvaro Arbeloa and Xabi Alonso, and take-on other La Liga players that he clashes with on a regular basis. That said, the Spanish side will be more than aware of Ronaldo’s threat, and the Portuguese star can expect close attention from the likes of Arbeloa and Sergio Busquets.

Ronaldo’s individual skill and ability to win the game by himself has been shown both for Real Madrid and Portugal in the recent past, but against Spain the Iberian nation will need the star to play for the team, act like a captain and forget about individual ambition. The likes of Nani, Fabio Coentrao, Joao Moutinho and others will strive to aid their skipper and a collective team effort will be need to conquer the holders.

Portugal go into the game as underdogs, and rightly so given the calibre and record of success of their opponents. However, Ronaldo will know that the game and the potential remainder of the tournament give him the chance to write history and put a stake in the ground. As his personal battle with Lionel Messi wages on, if CR7 can captain the Iberian nation to an unlikely tournament victory he would surely command the Ballon d’Or trophy once more, and do something that the Barcelona man has failed to; succeed on the international scene.

Ronaldo’s name is likely to go down alongside some of the greats when he hangs up his boots, but inspiring an unfancied Portugal team to glory in Ukraine and Poland would be a monumental achievement. Wednesday is Cristiano Ronaldo’s date with destiny, as the star attempts to be spoken of in the same breath as Pele, Maradona, Cruyff and the best in the game’s history.

Cristiano Ronaldo has finally able to prove his existancy  by  scoring 2 goals in Euro 2012 competition. The goals were created when Portugal had their last Group B stage match against Netherlands. With his 2 goals, Portugal managed to enter the quarter final round and will be facing Czech Republic next June 21st.

Besides that, Cristiano Ronaldo also grabbed a new record as the 7th player to score 2 goals in 3 Euro competition. Before, Ronaldo also scored 2 goals in Euro 2004 and 2008. Along with Ronaldo, there are also famous footballer names such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thierry Henry, Vladimir Smicer, Jurgen Klinsmann, Nuno Gomes and Helder Postiga. The last 2 names are his team mates in Portugal team.

And that wasn’t all. Cristiano Ronaldo wrote a phenomenal achievement by being the first Portuguese player that scored goal in the last 5 big competition, including World Cup and Euro Championship. His name were on WC 2006 and 2010 goal scorer list.

Until now, only German legendary player Klinsmann who made a goal in 6 matches of World class competition.

With the goals, Ronaldo now collects 34 goals, and has overcome Luis Figo’s goal record.

But for the 2 goals he created, Cristiano Ronaldo thanked his Portugal teammates for their support. He also dedicated the goals for his son, who had his second birthday on the same day with Portugal’s match.

“We made it, and I dedicated the man of the match for my son. Thank you for all of the support,” said Ronaldo.

The cute couple were kissing in public during their quick lunch, and we can see that Cris big smile is because of her.  Even when his team finally had to face a tragic result, a 2-3 defeated in a home game.

A shocking result, since Zaragoza is a minor club that stands in 17th place of the Spanish table list. But luckily, Barcelona also facing a 2-1 defeated against the host Real Sociedad on the same night. Messi didn’t score, so I guess Cristiano will have the chance for the pichichi.

Anyway, here are the pictures of Cris and Irina on the VIP Box
