Cristiano Ronaldo Comes Off the Bench to Score Yet Again!
The 35-year-old continues to defy the odds and to either extend or break records. He scored his 102nd goal for Portugal last night.
Cristiano Ronaldo Comes Off the Bench to Score Yet Again! He is now only 7 goals away from equalling the greatest number of international goals.
The record is held by Iran striker Ali Daei. It is extremely likely now that Ronaldo will reach and subsequently usurping that goal tally.
Cristiano Ronaldo has now also been part of 100 wins with the Portugal national team.
Incredibly, Ronaldo has averaged a goal a game for Portugal since turning 30 years old, five years ago. He has scored 50 goals in 50 games for Portugal in these five years.
It took him 118 games to score his first 52 goals for Portugal.
Last night also saw Ronaldo equal the number of official goals scored by the iconic Ferenc Puskas. They both now have 746 official goals.
Since returning from self-isolation after testing positive for Covid-19, Ronaldo has scored 4 goals in 4 games.
Cristiano Ronaldo has his eyes set on two separate goal records now: all-time leading goal scorer and all time leading international goal scorer.
He is close to reaching Pelé’s tally of most official goals ever! He is also most definitely targeting the record for most international goals held by Alli Daei.
At 35 years old, Ronaldo is currently the leading goal scorer in all competitions across the 5 biggest leagues in Europe. He turns 36 years of age in February!
