At 38, Cristiano Ronaldo set a new record with Portugal, thanks to his double scored against Bosnia-Herzegovina.
We don’t talk to him about age either. While some said he was finished when he joined Saudi Arabia in January, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to write his legend. And not just with his club Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. Monday evening, during the Euro 2024 qualifiers, “CR7” scored its second consecutive double with Portugal against Bosnia-Herzegovina (0-5), three days after achieving this performance against Slovakia (3-2). ).
Ronaldo does better than Haaland
Four new goals which make him the best director over the calendar year. With 40 goals scored in 2023 in all competitions, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner now does better than Manchester City’s Norwegian cyborg, Erling Haaland (39 goals). But that’s not all. By deceiving the Bosnian goalkeeper twice in twenty minutes (5e sp, 20e), the native of Funchal has set yet another record which says a lot about his longevity at the highest level.
Unheard of at 38 years old!
Cristiano Ronaldo effectively became the first European player in history to score 9 goals for the national team at the age of 38, the account relays @Statsdufoot on Iceland (0-1) and, therefore, two other doubles during this international break. Impressive.
🇵🇹 Cristiano Ronaldo becomes the first European player in history to have scored 9 goals for the national team at the age of 38. #BOSPOR
