Cristiano Ronaldo breaks yet another record
Follow Us
The iconic player who is a role model for generations has come a long way from the young teenager at Sporting Lisbon or even United. Both him and Messi were criticized for their lack of silverware at the international level years back, but that has come to change with Cristiano Ronaldo winning the euros and Messi winning the Copa America championship this year.
Ronaldo has gone further ahead by cementing his place in football and Guinness history by breaking yet another record in the ‘beautiful game’; The 36 yr. old has displayed his brilliance in Portugal’s latest international match against Ireland by creating a beautiful comeback for his team as he has done on multiple occasions for whichever team he plays for.
Cristiano Ronaldo creates record during Portugal v Ireland
Portugal played against Ireland in their recent world cup qualifying fixture. Cristiano was underperforming a little bit early on and even missed a penalty which is a very rare occasion when it comes to him. But he proved to fans all around the globe as to why he must not be counted out until the referee blows the final whistle.
Portugal was trailing by one goal up until the 89th minute when Goncalo Guedes made a key pass to Ronaldo who capitalized on the opportunity this time around and scored the equalizer for his country and amped up the entire atmosphere with drama and suspense. The referee also decided to provide ample amount of extra time with 6 additional minutes which gave the 5-time Ballon D’or winner the chance to put the ball through the keeper and in the net to secure his team the win and also manage to break the all-time record for most international goals scored (male).
New Guinness Record on Cristiano Ronaldo’s names
Even when he isn’t on the field Ronaldo is a success. He is a leading scorer, sportsman, personality, and social media spectacle. He has the most Twitter followers of any athlete, as well as the most Instagram followers of any athlete. His Instagram account is also the most popular on the platform, surpassing Selena Gomez in 2017. Ronaldo’s Wikipedia page is the most read page for a sportsman due to his status as an international football legend (male). In addition, as of April 2021, he had the most Facebook likes of any athlete.
Cristiano has reached another milestone in his football career however by becoming the all-time top scorer in men’s international football. Ronaldo held the title with Ali Daei (Iran), who scored 109 goals during his time in the game. Ronaldo surpassed his personal record of goals against Ireland just minutes before the match ended by scoring a double and taking the total up to an impressive 111.
Daei began coaching in 2006 after serving as captain of the Iran national football team. He is now a professional footballing manager, and his most recent team was Saipa, which he headed from 2017 to mid-2019. Between 2003 and 2021, Cristiano Ronaldo tied Daei’s goal total, but the Portuguese forward ultimately surpassed it in the game against Ireland, when he scored for the 111th time.
But this isn’t Ronaldo’s first experience receiving a trophy (or a Guinness World Records certificate!). The forward also maintains a record for most Champions League goals (134), most goals scored in a single UEFA Champions League campaign (17), and most goals scored in the football (soccer) UEFA European Championships (counting qualification matches) (23).
