Ronaldo Leads Portugal to Historic Victory

In a remarkable performance, Cristiano Ronaldo guided Portugal to a victory over Germany, marking their first win against this team in 25 years. Before this match, Germany was the only national team Ronaldo had not defeated, having faced five consecutive losses. Portugal's last win against Germany was during Euro 2000. With this victory, Portugal has now won one out of six encounters, finally breaking the long-standing streak.


This win not only secured Portugal's place in the final but also elevated Ronaldo's impressive international goal tally to 137 in 220 matches, contributing to his overall career total of 937 goals, a record in men's football. Even at 40, he continues to set new benchmarks.


Can Ronaldo Reach the 1,000-Goal Milestone?

With 937 goals to his name, Ronaldo needs just 63 more to achieve the remarkable milestone of 1,000 goals, a feat no player has officially reached. While Pele and Romario have claimed to surpass 1,000, their totals included unofficial friendly matches. If Ronaldo maintains his performance, having scored 35 goals last season, he could reach this landmark in less than two years. If anyone is capable of achieving this, it is undoubtedly him.
