After the disappointment in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, we thought we saw the last of Cristiano Ronaldo in the jersey of the Portuguese selection, in tears following the elimination against Morocco. Nevertheless, despite the change of coach (F. Santos out, R. Martinez in), the five-time Ballon d’Or returned with the Seleção das Quinas for its entry into the running for Euro 2024 qualifying.
By starting against Liechtenstein this Thursday evening for the first day of Group J, the Portuguese international striker is playing his 197th selection in the red and green jersey, thus officially overtaking Kuwaiti Bader Al-Mutawa, with whom he shared the record until there with 196 wrappers. A new record to add to the individual record of the native of Funchal, already top scorer in the history of selection football (118 goals).
