Pele congratulates Ronaldo after Portugal star scores 100th international goal

Brazil great Pele has congratulated Cristiano Ronaldo for surpassing a century of international goals for Portugal.

The 36-year-old scored in either half of his country's 2-0 win over Sweden in the Nations League on Tuesday to bring his tally on the international stage up to 101.

Ronaldo is now just eight strikes shy of matching the record for most international goals currently held solely by Iranian legend Ali Daei.
