Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo has dedicated the two goals he scored during tonight's 3-0 win over Celta Vigo to Portuguese legend Eusebio.

Eusebio, widely regarded as Portugal's best ever player and one of the greatest footballers of all time, passed away on Sunday aged 71.

Ronaldo took his career tally to 400 goals with his second strike this evening, but after the match he claimed that is was Eusebio who had scored the brace.

"I dedicate these 2 goals to you Eusebio but in fact you were the one who scored them. You'll always be in my heart," Ronaldo wrote on Twitter.

Eusebio scored 733 times in 745 professional matches and was named European Player of the Year in 1965.
