He’s done it again! Cristiano Ronaldo, the football legend from Portugal, has added another record to his collection. He became the first male player ever to play 200 international games for his country. And he celebrated in style by scoring the only goal of the match against Iceland in the dying minutes.
Guinness World Records presented Ronaldo with a certificate before the game to mark his incredible achievement. He thanked everyone who helped him along the way and said he was not ready to hang up his boots yet.
The 38-year-old Ronaldo is no stranger to breaking records. He is also the top scorer in international football history, with 123 goals in 200 matches. He is also the most followed person on Instagram, with close to 600 million fans.
Ronaldo’s journey to greatness started in 2002, when he turned pro at 17. He made his debut for Portugal in 2003 and scored his first goal in 2004. Since then, he has won countless trophies and awards with his clubs and country.
Ronaldo showed his class and determination once again by scoring the winner against Iceland in the 89th minute. He kept Portugal on track for Euro 2024 qualification with four wins out of four in Group J.
