Cristiano Ronaldo has very clear expectations for his Portuguese side in Euro 2016 qualifying.

The Real Madrid superstar, whose late header gifted his country a 1-0 win over Denmark on Tuesday, says Portugal will not only qualify for the tournament, but will do so with relative ease.

"As I've said before, Portugal will qualify first, because our national team is the best of the bunch and we will demonstrate that on the pitch," he told TV station RTP. "I am confident that we will be in the European Championships."

Tuesday's victory puts the Portuguese squad at three points in Group I, one behind both Denmark and Albania for top spot - with one match in-hand on the Danes.

The group also features Serbia and Armenia.
