Portuguese football icon Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the highest goalscorer in FIFA World Cup qualifying history. His two goals in Portugal’s 2-2 draw against Hungary raised his tally to 41, surpassing the previous record of 39 held by Carlos Ruiz. At 40 years old, Ronaldo shared his pride on social media, expressing gratitude to fans and teammates and pledging to secure qualification in the upcoming November matches.
Despite Ronaldo’s record-breaking performance, Portugal currently leads Group F by five points over Hungary, with two games remaining to confirm their place in the World Cup.
