5 records that Cristiano Ronaldo can break or equal by the end of 2018-19 season

#5 Most goals by a European in international football - 85

Portugal v Algeria - International Friendly — Ronaldo has scored 81 goals for Portugal

One achievement that Cristiano Ronaldo has that will put Lionel Messi to shame is his international accomplishments. Ronaldo won the Euro 2016 with Portugal while Messi has no titles to show for on the international arena.

Ronaldo also has more goals (81 goals) in international football compared to Messi, and is third on the list of most goals scored in international football, behind Iran's Ali Daei (109 goals) and Real Madrid legend Ferenc Puskás, who played for Hungary and Spain, and scored a total of 84 goals.

Four goals by the Portuguese forward will make him the highest European goalscorer in the international arena, and with Portugal depending on his goals at the World Cup, he may easily pass that milestone in Russia.
