Cristiano Ronaldo continues to make history and after becoming the first European player to surpass 100 goals on the international scene, he continues to score goals and is already reaching 102. We take advantage of the Portuguese star’s birthday to review his incredible goalscoring figures.
The Portuguese forward had surpassed Ferenc Puskás’ European record of 84 goals as an international at the 2018 FIFA World Cup and reached 100 goals with a direct free kick against Sweden on 8 September 2020 in the UEFA Nations League.
