In an important match of the 2026 World Cup European qualifiers, the Portugal national team played away against Hungary. The match, which was organized and filled with dramatic situations, ended with a 3-2 victory for the Portuguese.
Famous striker Cristiano Ronaldo contributed to his team's victory by accurately shooting from a penalty. His goal went down in history once again as a necessary record.
The 40-year-old star thus scored his 141st goal for the national team. This indicator is currently being recorded as an absolute record worldwide. Meanwhile, Ronaldo continues to demonstrate through his actions that he has no intention of stopping.
His main rival, Lionel Messi, scored 114 goals for the Argentina national team. However, after the Argentinian star announced his intention to retire from international football, he will never be able to reach Ronaldo's level.
As a reminder, Cristiano Ronaldo began his career with the national team in 2003 in a friendly match against Kazakhstan. His first goal came against eventual champions Greece during the 2004 European Championship.
Thus, the Portuguese legend continues to open new pages in football history, and it seems difficult for his records to be broken in the near future.
