3. Breaking the European goalscoring record

Uruguay v Portugal: Round of 16 - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia

By scoring his 85th International goal for Portugal Ronaldo moved one clear of Hungarian and Real Madrid great Ferenc Puskas.

Not only that but the Portugal great now holds the record for most international goals scored by a European player.

This is a record that will undoubtedly mean a lot to Ronaldo, and when one considers that he spent most of his international career as Left Midfielder and Left Winger it is a truly exceptional feat that he was able to achieve this, serving as a testament to his greatness and goalscoring prowess.

In addition, this now places Ronaldo in 2nd for total international goals with the Portuguese needing 25 goals to surpass unlikely leader Ali Daei and become the greatest ever international goal scorer, and with Ronaldo being hellbent on being regarded as one of, if not, the greatest footballer of all time he will undoubtedly be determined to break this record as well.
