Ronaldo: “We played well, we won every game and I don’t think since I have been in the national team, even in the history of the national team, it has been so easy in the qualifiers. I don’t want to say easy because we did it, but a lot of people said: ‘Ah, it’s because of being in such a group……. It’s the same in other qualifiers, there are always two or three strong teams and in the end we always have to go to the calculator, so I don’t agree with what you hear, Portugal are through because they play well, have a good team and a good coach, we deserve to be through and it’s no accident that we are through.”

“I hope I can go to six European Championships in a row, but there is still a long way to go and I hope I don’t have any problems, I mean injuries or anything like that. Obviously, I’d love to be in the final again, but that’s a long way off. I still have a lot of football to play for both club and country and I hope I won’t have any problems.”
