You expect that every game from Ronaldo. Switzerland were playing well but he is a top-class goalscorer and all three of them were good goals.

Years ago he was a dribbler with bags of pace but now he is a goalscorer and he has kept himself so fit.

There is no reason why he cannot play at 40. His game has developed and his coaches do not ask him to chase back against full-backs because it means he is fresh when he gets it.

The second goal was such a wonderfully worked move but Cristiano Ronaldo knew exactly what he wanted to do. It's a goal of beauty the way he finishes it off. He still moves like an Olympic athlete. He is 34 and he has no right to look like that.

He is a real leader for this Portuguese team and it tells you everything about the way he leads his life. It's a possibility that he could carry on playing until he is 40.

What a start to the Uefa Nations League finals.

Switzerland stand toe-to-toe with Portugal before suffering two late knockout blows as Cristiano Ronaldo nets another hat-trick.

It's the turn of England and the Netherlands tomorrow.

Do join us for that from around 18:30 BST - and thanks for your company tonight.

I'll leave you with what they said about CR7...

Just when you think you have heard it all about Cristiano Ronaldo up pops another stat that blows your mind.

This was his 53rd hat-trick for club and country - and seventh for Portugal.

Attention turns to England's game against the Netherlands tomorrow.

Will Jordan Henderson start so soon after Liverpool's Champions League heroics and victory parade?

Will Raheem Sterling captain the Three Lions on his 50th appearance?

Will Virgil van Dijk get the better of Harry Kane for the second time in a week?

William Carvalho is a real powerhouse but he has got the feet of a ballerina. Portugal are a well balanced team.

This might sound crazy but Xherdan Shaqiri for Man of the Match?

Everything good about Switzerland came through him.

I suspect Ronaldo will get it for his goals. Fair enough.

Got to feel for the Swiss.

They were very much in this until Ronaldo struck twice in the final two minutes.

They're not heading home just yet, however. Switzerland will take part in a third-place play-off in Guimaraes on Sunday (14:00 BST) against the losers of the Netherlands against England game which is tomorrow.

Portugal

This pre-match stat aged well...

Cristiano Ronaldo has not scored in any of his last four appearances for Portugal, since finding the net against Morocco at the 2018 World Cup.

The Juventus striker has attempted 27 shots without scoring since then for his country.

D: A hat-trick, now that’s just rubbing it in.

Sanna boy: Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Love him or loathe him, Ronaldo is something special.

Ridiculous Ronaldo. How many times have we seen him decide the big games over the years?

Credit to Switzerland, who got themselves back into the game, but then Ronaldo gives the goalkeeper no chance. Game over and he is walking off with the match ball.

Portugal fans are applauding Switzerland's players off the pitch. The Swiss contributed to a compelling contest. The difference between the sides? A bloke wearing Portugal's No 7 shirt.

What a game.

VAR controversy, a Ronaldo hat-trick, the Swiss giving it a right good go.

The inaugural Uefa National League finals are off to a flyer.

Steve: (Re 21:27) ryanflint won’t be enjoying the last few minutes of the game then...

Andy: Ronaldo 3 - 1 Switzerland

Josh: Ronaldo has an off night and scores 3 outstanding goals, typical of the brilliance of the man

As soon as Ronaldo shifts it inside you know what is going to happen. Yann Sommer made himself big but he got nowhere near it. Devastating finish.
