Ronaldo scored one goal during Portugal’s 2-0 win over Luxembourg on Sunday. It was his 99th international goal.
The Juventus forward said winning was their priority.
“It’s difficult to play on these types of fields, a potato field. I don’t know how it’s possible for teams at this level to play on fields of this quality,” Ronaldo said.
“The performance wasn’t beautiful, but we did our job. It was the pitch we had to play and, and we won 2-0, which was our priority,” he added.
