Ronaldo scored a pair of brilliant goals in Lyon on Wednesday to go down in European Championship history as the first player to score at four finals. Portugal came from behind three times for a 3-3 draw, which allowed them to scrape into the last 16 to face Croatia in Lens on Saturday.

"This is what Cristiano is all about, because he's a winner and a scorer, he feeds on goals," said Santos. "This will have increased his confidence levels. He's a confident player anyway, but this will have boosted him for the next game against Croatia."
