Man-of-the-match Cristiano Ronaldo called Portugal’s 3-3 draw against Hungary “insane” as his side scraped into the last 16 of Euro 2016, thanks to his two record-breaking second-half goals.
Ronaldo opened his account in style with a deft backheel flick on 50 minutes before a bullet header 12 minutes later to twice equalise at the Stade de Lyon.
The goals made the 31-year-old the first player to score in four European Championships.
The result made Hungary unlikely Group F winners in their first international tournament for three decades.
Portugal squeezed through as one of the best third-place finishers but now face a tough last 16 match against Croatia in Lens on Saturday.
Sport360 rounds-up the best of the post-match reaction:
Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal superstar:
“It was an insane match.
“We had to chase down the match, it was very hot, but the main goal was to qualify.
“Of course, we wanted to win and qualify in first place, but the main thing is we’re through.”
“These are just more records, but like I always say that comes naturally.
“I can’t say I’m not happy, these are good records, but the priority was to make it through to the 16.”
“We made it and now we face a very good team, but the odds are 50/50.
“Croatia are a tough team, with good players. Not every team manages to beat Spain.
“We respect them, but we know our strength and we’ll look them in the eye when we face them.”
“The bottom line was to qualify, we thought we’d done it in second place, but Iceland scored late on and we finished third.
“We attacked, Hungary attacked.
“The team was in dire straits, three times we were about to go home, but we came back each time.”
Bernd Storck, Hungary:
“We didn’t give them many chances, but whenever Ronaldo has the ball, he can score.
“We all know he’s a world class player and you can’t control him.”
