Wildly starting the World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to amaze with his abilities. Portugal scored three goals against the Spanish national team's goal and improved more than one record.
He became the fourth footballer in history to score a goal in four consecutive World Cups and became the oldest footballer in history to score three goals in a single World Cup match.
However, C. Ronaldo reached another record that will be even harder to beat. Portugal rose to the top of the list of the most prolific European footballers.
C. Ronaldo, wearing his country's jersey, has already scored 84 goals. However, for now, he will have to share the first place with Ferenc Puskas, who also has 84 goals. He scored them representing the national teams of Hungary and Spain.
It is worth mentioning that F. Puskas achieved this milestone in just 89 matches, while C. Ronaldo – 151. However, there is no doubt that in this championship C. Ronaldo will become the undisputed leader in this category.
The most prolific footballer in the world defending his country's honor is Ali Daei, who scored 109 goals wearing Iran's jersey.
