33-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo led the Portuguese national team to victory today at the 2018 World Cup.
The only goal by C. Ronaldo secured the victory against Morocco. The European champions now have four points and are very close to the quarterfinals.
C. Ronaldo's goal was extraordinary - after a precise shot, the Portuguese became the all-time leading goal scorer for a European player playing for his national team.
C. Ronaldo, with 85 goals behind him, surpassed the legendary Hungarian Ferenc Puskas, who scored 84 goals in 89 matches.
The Madrid "Real" star managed to achieve this impressive number in 152 matches. He scored his first goal back in 2004 when he scored against Greece in the European Championship.
The all-time leading national team player in terms of goals still remains the Iranian Ali Daei, with a tally of 109 goals.
