When asked about competing with Ronaldo for a starting spot in the forward line and whether he is eager for more playing time in the national team

On the big win over Armenia

The Paris Saint-Germain striker analyzed: "We had no choice but to win this game. We were clearly stronger, and we proved it not only on the pitch but also with the qualification result."

"In my opinion, the key to this big win lies in the efficiency in seizing opportunities—our finishing quality was excellent. In some games, the ball just won’t go in, but today we not only created more chances than the last game but also handled the ball more efficiently. It’s the better execution that brought us this brilliant victory."

Finally, the former Benfica striker emphasized that Portugal’s only goal is to win the World Cup:

"We are favorites to win every tournament we participate in, but we must keep our feet on the ground. There are friendly matches in March next year, and we will fully prepare for the World Cup throughout the entire season."
