Ronaldo dreaming of Euro 2016 glory

Cristiano Ronaldo is dreaming of winning Euro 2016 after Portugal upstaged Poland in the quarter-finals on Thursday, with the captain hopeful the time for international success has now arrived.

Portugal advanced to the semi-finals of the European Championship thanks to a 5-3 penalty shoot-out victory over Poland in Marseille.

"It is a dream. As I've always said and I don't hide, it is a dream to me winning a title with the national team," Ronaldo said.

"We are on the right track and I hope the time has come."

The two nations will meet in Friday's quarter-final but Ronaldo has no preference.

"They are teams who reach the quarter-finals playing well," the three-time Champions League winner added.

"Wales has surprised the tournament, so has Iceland, and Belgium has showed during the last years that they are an excellent team."
