Fans make the same point about Cristiano Ronaldo after he scores winner for Portugal against Germany
Fans all made the same point about Cristiano Ronaldo after he scored Portugal's winner against Germany in their Nations League clash.
Portugal came from behind to beat Germany 2-1 on Wednesday to book their spot in Sunday's Nations League final.
Florian Wirtz opened the scoring in the first-half and got Liverpool fans talking as they brought up Mohamed Salah.
Portugal, however, hit back in the second-half, with Francisco Conceicao scoring a stunning solo goal to make it 1-1 in the 63rd minute.

Just five minutes later, Ronaldo put his side ahead as he tapped home from close range to bring up his 137th goal for Portugal.
Despite turning 40 last February, Ronaldo is showing no signs of slowing down and is far from finished.
Fans on social media hailed the star forward's longevity as they sang his praises following his latest outing for Portugal.
One X user wrote: "Cristiano Ronaldo putting a spectacular performance for his country at 40 is something worth studying in the History of Soccer."
A second added: "They said he's too old. They said he's too slow. They said he's finished. They said he's now a liability. They said he can't Dribble anymore. Yet he keeps scoring to prove them wrong. Ladies and gentlemen, Cristiano Ronaldo."
A third said: "Cristiano Ronaldo still scoring and making good impact on big stages. He wasn’t finished at Manchester United."
A fourth commented: "Everyone forgets Cristiano Ronaldo is 40 years old. This is NOT normal."
A fifth claimed: "The crazy thing is Ronaldo at 40 isn't anywhere close to what he was 10 years ago but he's still better than like 99% of strikers playing today. Immortality."
Ronaldo, who won Euro 2016, has now scored a staggering 937 career goals.
He will be looking to bag his second Nations League title, having won the competition in the 2018/19 season.
Portugal await the winners of Thursday's other semi-final tie between Spain and France.
