"To become the number one and he doesn't see anything. He doesn't see me receive awards," Ronaldo said.

"My family see, my mum, my brothers, even my old son. But my father, he didn't see nothing," the Juventus star added.

Ronaldo was last seen in action representing his club Juventus in their Serie A clash against Fiorentina on Saturday which ended in a goal-less draw.

During the international break, Ronaldo scored four goals in the Euro 2020 Qualifiers against Lithuania away from home.

Ronaldo's first goal was a penalty. The second, with the scores level after an hour, was a scuffed low shot from outside the penalty area which took a couple of bounces off the artificial turf before it was parried into the air by the diving Ernestas Setkus.

The dropping ball hit the back of the goalie's head before rolling in. The third was a clinical volley from close range. The fourth was a low shot into the corner.

The victory over Lithuania, 130th in the world rankings, kept Portugal five points behind Ukraine at the top of Group B.
