Cristiano Ronaldo has toasted Portugal after they reached the World Cup following their 2-0 victory over North Macedonia last night, with the superstar even declaring that the heavyweights are now in their 'rightful place'.
Superstar Ronaldo, who is enduring a chastening season at club level with Manchester United, will play at a fifth World Cup of his career later this year - meaning he has appeared at every edition of the competition since 2006.
And against the minnows, Portugal never appeared likely to slip up in the same vein as Italy, with Ronaldo taking centre stage to help his country ease through to Qatar.
