Portugal’s forward Cristiano Ronaldo etched his name into football history by scoring twice in the match against Uzbekistan. At 41 years old, the striker became the first player ever to score in six different World Cup tournaments.
Last week, Lionel Messi matched Ronaldo by scoring at his fifth World Cup, but Ronaldo has now pulled ahead once again.
Given Messi’s age, it seems unlikely he will surpass this record. Moreover, with his two goals against Uzbekistan, Cristiano has increased his total World Cup goals to 10, surpassing the legendary Eusébio, who held the Portuguese record with nine goals.
