Luxembourg 0-6 Portugal: Player ratings for the Selecao as another Cristiano Ronaldo brace leads to big win | UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers

Portugal thrashed Luxembourg 6-0 in the Euro 2024 qualifiers on Sunday (March 26) to continue their winning start in the campaign. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace, while Bernardo Silva, Joao Felix, Otavio, and Rafael Leao all scored apiece in the rout.

Having started their qualifiers with a 4-0 drubbing of Liechtenstein, Roberto Martinez's side continued from where they left on Thursday (March 23).

Ronaldo got the ball rolling in the ninth minute before Felix and Silva struck two beautiful headers. The skipper then bagged another goal to make it 4-0 before the break.

The match already appeared done and dusted but the Euro 2016 champions weren't done yet, with Otavio adding a fifth and Leao, minutes after missing a penalty, scoring their sixth.

In just two games of the Martinez era, Portugal have scored 10 goals and are off to a flyer in their bid to reach the European finals in Germany next year.
