Cristiano Ronaldo Breaks The Hundred International Goals by Kojochyke(m): 10:32pm On Sep 08, 2020 |
Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo became the first
European to score 100 international goals in men's
football and then passed that mark with both goals
in the Nations League win over Sweden.
The captain curled a stunning free-kick into the top
corner - the 57th of his career - to reach the
landmark.
The Juventus forward, 35, then fired in a fine
second from outside the box.
Ronaldo, who played 81 minutes, is within eight
goals of the world record.
Iran's Ali Daei - the only man to score more
international goals than Ronaldo - hit 109 during
his playing career from 1993 to 2006.
The next top scoring current players are India's
Sunil Chhetri (72) and Argentina's Lionel Messi
(70).
The result means defending Nations League champions
Portugal have won their opening two games of this
year's event.
Their task was made easier when Sweden had Gustav
Svensson sent off for two bookings - but there was
a downside to their win as Manchester City's
Bernardo Silva was replaced after suffering a
suspected muscle strain.
Portugal could have won by more with Bruno
Fernandes hitting the bar and Ronaldo, on his
165th cap, forcing a good save from Robin Olsen
as he searched for a hat-trick.
Almost half of Ronaldo's international goals have
come since his 30th birthday - 49 goals in 47
games. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/54074907 |
