With Portugal’s Most Recent Victory, Cristiano Ronaldo Breaks Another Record.
|Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of Portugal, on Thursday established yet another international record after his team’s 4-0 victory against Liechtenstein in a Euro 2024 qualifying match.
In the match against Liechtenstein, Ronaldo made his 197th appearance for Portugal, becoming him the all-time leader in appearances for men’s international football.
The Kuwaiti striker Bader Al-Mutawa and the Al-Nassr forward had previously shared the record, but the former Manchester United player now owns the record alone.
Against Liechtenstein, Ronaldo scored twice, including one from a signature free kick.
His two goals increased his total for goals in international football to 120, which increased his lead as the leading scorer in that category.
The 38-year-old will be hoping to build on his outstanding performance for Portugal when they face Luxembourg on Sunday night.
