Portugal sealed its place in the Round of 16 at UEFA Euro 2024 as Group F winner with a game to spare, thrashing Turkiye 3-0 in Dortmund.

Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes scored either side of a comical own goal from Samet Akaydin, as the Selecao produced a far more complete performance than it managed in its last-gasp 2-1 win over Czechia.

Fernandes's clinching goal came when Ronaldo sprang the Turkiye offside trap before unselfishly squaring for his former Manchester United team-mate when it was two-on-one versus goalkeeper Altay Bayindir.

Ronaldo's assist was his seventh at the European championships overall, the most on record, since 1968, of any player in the competition's history.

Martinez believes that incident proved Ronaldo will always put the team first and should serve as inspiration for young players everywhere.

"We saw something extraordinary, in front of the goalkeeper, he gave it to Bruno Fernandes," Martinez said.

"He is an example that should be shown in every academy in Portugal and throughout the world of football, he showed the team is the most important thing."

Ronaldo also holds the all-time goal-scoring record at the tournament, with 14, while victory over Turkiye was his 23rd at major international tournaments.

Only Bastian Schweinsteiger and Miroslav Klose (25 each for Germany) have recorded more such wins among European players.

Portugal's victory was overshadowed, however, by a total of six pitch invaders making it on to the playing surface, seemingly emboldened by Ronaldo posing for a photograph with the first to reach the pitch, a young boy.

Asked about those incidents, Martinez said: "It's a concern because today we were lucky that the intentions of the fans were good.

"I think we all love a fan that recognises the big stars and the big icons, but you can understand it would be a very, very difficult moment if those intentions are wrong."
