#2 Most Capped Player
When Cristiano Ronaldo made his debut for Portugal, he came on to replace Luis Figo, a legend of the game and one of the greatest footballers ever to come out of Portugal. Figo retired as the player with the most international caps for his country - 127, so a piece of history beckoned Ronaldo in opening game of Euro 2016, against Austria. Even though the game ended in a 1-1 draw, he became the most capped Portuguese player, as the game marked his 128th appearance.
Ronaldo made his debut for Portugal in August 2003 and since then has appeared for his country a record 154 times. His last appearance was in the 2018 World Cup, in June 2018. The current players who are close to him are Joao Moutinho, who has 113 caps, Nani, who has 112 caps, Pepe who has 103 caps and Bruno Alves, who has 96 caps. As such, this record might not be broken any time soon as well.
