Cristiano Ronaldo becomes the second men’s player to score 100 international goals milestone after Ali Daei, who scored 109 times for Iran.
Ronaldo reached this milestone for Portugal, in Tuesday’s UEFA Nations League match against Sweden. It wouldn’t take a much longer time for Ronaldo to reach his 101st goal, a fair hit from the outside of the box in the 72mintue game, giving Portugal a 2-0 win.
Ronaldo had to wait for almost 10months to reach this milestone, he scored last for Portugal in November 2019 against Luxembourg.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s goal was his 57th of his career and 10th for Portugal. Out of Ronaldo’s 100 goals, only 17 of them had come in internationally.
