On the road to the 1000 goals in career, he who is already the top scorer in the history of football, Cristiano Ronaldo takes advantage of the World Cup qualifiers again to improve his statistics. The five -time Ballon d'Or offered himself a double with Portugal during a victory against Armenia, on Saturday, during the entry into the Seleçao in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
“CR7” first doubled the bet, on its own on a center of Pedro Neto (21st) after the opening of the Joao Félix score (10th). Joao Cancelo, with a distant strike, brought the brand to 3-0 at half an hour of play in Yerevan (32nd).
As soon as the locker room returns, Ronaldo scored the goal of the weekend by sending a violent strike 20 meters in the opposing goal. Goalkeeper Henri Avagyan, local club player from Puynik, could only touch the missile sent by the Portuguese superstar (46th). The former star player of Real Madrid was released 10 minutes later under a standing ovation.
Ronaldo and the 150 goals in selection
For his 222nd selection, three months after winning the League of Nations against Spain, Cristiano Ronaldo reached 140 goals on the international scene. This brings his total in official competition to 942 achievements. The 40 -year -old could exceed the 150 goals in the Portugal team during the suite of qualifications and especially during the 2026 World Cup in North America, for his latest World Cup.
The training of Roberto Martinez, with Nuno Mendes, Joao Neves and Vitinha holders (and Gonçalo Ramos entered at the time of play in place of Ronaldo), continues with a shock against Hungary on Tuesday. The Seleçao will then play Ireland and a second time the Hungarians in October, then will go to Dublin before receiving the Armenians in November.
