Goncalo Ramos scored the winner in Portugal’s 2-1 victory over Norway in the Nations League on Sunday.

The AC Milan record-signing has now scored in his past three games for Portugal— his longest scoring streak since making his debut in 2022.

Ramos came off the bench against Wales before replacing Ronaldo in the starting team against Norway.

He has repaid Jesus’ trust since then, showing that he can lead Portugal’s attack in Ronaldo’s absence.

Ramos scored the winner against Norway, before contributing a goal and an assist in the victory over Denmark.

Ramos is unlikely to be as prolific as the Al Nassr striker, but he offers more mobility and pressing and movement inside the penalty box.

The 25-year-old has also developed a great understanding with Jesus.
