Just another night in the Champions League for Portugal’s finest on Tuesday, after Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo found the net to inspire Manchester United and Juventus to home victories in the group stage.

Fernandes scored twice – the first a sensational effort from outside the area – as United avenged their defeat to Istanbul Basaksehir on the last matchday by beating the Turkish side 4-1 at Old Trafford, while Ronaldo’s superb long-range finish helped Juve come from behind to edge Hungarian outfit Ferencvaros 2-1 in Turin.

Another highly fruitful weekend of Portuguese goals across Europe was typically dominated by big name scorers such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Jota, but arguably the best feelgood story was youngster Jota Filipe scoring his first goal for Real Valladolid in Spain.

The on-loan Benfica forward’s goal in the win at Granada came after recently-capped Seleção defender Domingos Duarte had registered for the home side, while in France another Portugal stopper found the net as Pedro Mendes helped Montpellier to victory. Elsewhere, Bruno Fernandes was a fortunate match-winner for Manchester United and Raphaël Guerreiro was back on the scoresheet for Borussia Dortmund.

Liverpool 3-0 Leicester City

Diogo Jota became the first player in Liverpool’s history to score in each of his opening four home matches in the English top flight, after getting on the scoresheet in the champions’ 3-0 win over Leicester City on Sunday evening.

The Portugal forward’s first-half header means he now has eight goals in all competitions for his new club following a close season move from Wolverhampton Wanderers, while the win for Liverpool sees them move up to second place in the Premier League.

Juventus 2-0 Cagliari

Cristiano Ronaldo picked up where he left off on his return to domestic action this weekend, scoring with two superb first-half finishes to give Juventus a win over Cagliari in Serie A.

Ronaldo has now scored in each of his first five league appearances this season, something the Portugal captain had only done once previously: with Real Madrid in the 2014/15 season.
