The Real Madrid forward completed his hat-trick with a stunning free-kick to secure a 3-3 draw with their European rivals in the 88th minute.
However, when talking to reporters after the game, Ronaldo took the opportunity to praise his team-mates and talk about Portugal's chances of progressing in the tournament.
He was quoted by 'FPF.pt' as saying: "I am very happy, and I always believe in myself. It's one more [hat-trick] in my career but the most important thing to me is to highlight what the team has done.
"We played against a favourite team that wants to win the World Cup and we were winning twice during the game.
"We almost made those three points and we managed to draw. We are very happy because this game was about to end and we managed to equalise. We have to evaluate what the team did because it was a very hard-fought game."
Ronaldo added: "We have to look to the next match now because our goal is to win. We have to take it match by match and move on through the group stage.
"We are not the favourites but we will do our best and try to beat Morocco on Wednesday. I think the team played very well and is going to do well for sure."
