Despite Scoring Hat-Trick Against Luxembourg, Cristiano Ronaldo Was Denied ‘Best Ever Goal’ by Super Save

• Cristiano Ronaldo put up a 5-star performance in Portugal’s 5-0 trouncing of Luxembourg in a 2022 World Cup qualifying match
• The Manchester United striker scored a hat-trick on the night, taking his career goals tally to a staggering 794
• CR7 would have scored four goals in the match, but was denied a 'worldie' after a brilliant save by Anthony Moris denied his overhead kick

Cristiano Ronaldo took his all-time career goals’ tally to 794 during Portugal’s 5-0 win over Luxembourg on Tuesday night, October 12, Daily Star reports.

The 36-year-old found the back of the net three times in the encounter, but would have scored four goals on the night, but for a sensational save by goalkeeper Anthony Moris.

It was CR7’s 10th international hat-trick as he inspired his side to a famous win in the ongoing World Cup qualifiers.

In what could have been described as one of his greatest goals ever, the Luxembourg goalie put up a massive save to deny the striker, Republic World reports.

Ronaldo fired Portugal into an early lead with two penalties inside the opening 15 minutes, before Bruno Fernandes and Joao Palhinha both added goals either side of half-time.

The 36-year-old completed yet another hat-trick with just a few minutes left on the clock though as he headed home from close-range.

But it could have been an even more memorable night for Ronaldo as he was denied a wonder goal by Luxembourg stopper Moris.
