Cristiano Ronaldo insists Portugal will not rest on their laurels after qualifying for the World Cup

Cristiano Ronaldo insists Portugal are not satisfied simply with qualifying for the 2022 World Cup and will aim for 'so much more' at the finals this winter.

The 37-year-old forward will appear at his fifth World Cup this winter after two goals from Manchester United team-mate Bruno Fernandes secured the Selecao's place in Qatar with victory against North Macedonia in the final play-off qualifier.

The former Real Madrid star hailed Portugal's win, declaring the heavyweights are now in their 'rightful place' after fears they could miss out on the tournament due to the unpredictable nature of World Cup qualifiers.
