The Portuguese and Milan striker raised his tally to 14 goals for his national team, at a remarkable rate of one every 92 minutes, strengthening his position as one of the most prominent attacking options under the leadership of coach Jorge Jesus.
This brilliance came in the first match that Portugal played in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, giving Ramos a golden opportunity to prove his ability to lead the front line, at a sensitive time in which he has become required to bear greater offensive responsibilities in light of the continuing uncertainty about the date of Ronaldo’s return.
Ramos’s role was not limited to scoring only, but he presented an active performance throughout the match, displaying his high abilities in reading the path of attacks, exploiting half-chances, and constantly moving inside the penalty area, taking advantage of his teammates’ spaces.
This active presence was translated into a decisive goal against the Norwegian national team, following an organized attack that began with a pass from Vitinha, passing through Joao Felix, who sent the ball to Ramos and the latter turned it into the net, thus confirming his remarkable record by scoring in three consecutive matches in the European Nations League competitions.
