Euro 2020 Qualifiers: A look at the top 5 goalscorers

#2= Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal: 11 goals

Who would bet against Cristiano Ronaldo breaking Ali Daei's record of 109 international goals?

After his move to Juventus in the summer of 2018, Cristiano Ronaldo chose to sit out Portugal’s group matches in last year’s UEFA Nations League, only returning to action with his country in the summer as they went on to win the competition. Unfortunately for all of Portugal’s opponents, CR7 has been back with a vengeance since then, banging in 11 goals during this qualifying campaign.

Portugal weren’t able to win their group; a loss to Ukraine and draws with Ukraine and Serbia saw fit to that, but they were easily the biggest bullies on view, as they put a total of 16 goals past the bottom two sides of Luxembourg and Lithuania. Unsurprisingly, Ronaldo scored 9 of those goals, with 7 of them coming against the hapless Lithuanians.

Not only does the Juventus striker still stand as Portugal’s all-time top goalscorer, but his return in this qualifying campaign has put him on a ludicrous 99 goals for his country. Only a madman would put money on him not breaking the century – and then chasing Ali Daei’s record of 109 international goals.
