With a double against Slovakia, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 73 goals for the National Team after the age of 30, an achievement that is difficult for any player to achieve.
Ronaldo scored first in the 29th minute from the penalty spot and completed his double in the match with a close-range tap-in after Bruno's assist. With this double, the Portuguese superstar reached a new milestone never before seen in football history.
Specifically, with two goals in this match, CR7 has scored 73 goals for the National Team after the age of 30, an achievement that is difficult for any player to achieve.
Ronaldo's tally is higher than the total number of goals scored by other top scorers, such as Olivier Giroud (France, 52 goals), Miroslav Klose (Germany, 71), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden, 62), David Villa (Spain, 60), Harry Kane (England, 59), Robin van Persie (Netherlands, 50) and Gigi Riva (Italy, 35).
During his career, Ronaldo has also officially scored 125 goals for the Portuguese National Team, firmly holding the number 1 position in the list of players who have scored the most goals for the National Team.
The Al-Nassr FC star also leads the way in terms of appearances for a national team, with 202 matches.
Ronaldo's impressive performance greatly helped Portugal extend their winning streak of 7 matches in the EURO 2024 qualifiers, thereby quickly securing a ticket to Germany to attend the Final Round.
Along with Portugal, in the early morning matches, the two teams France and Belgium also had important victories to soon secure a place in Germany.
The French team also got 18 absolute points, winning the top spot in Group B after a 2-1 victory right on the field of the Dutch team.
Meanwhile, the Belgian team defeated the Austrian team 3-2 to get 16 points, winning the first ticket of Group J to attend the EURO 2024 Finals.
