Ronaldo Just One Spot Shy Of Breaking International Record

2 Min Read

When Cristiano Ronaldo darted to head in a corner for his country which was the only goal of the game against Morocco, it not only took Portugal to the summit of Group B, it was also his 85th goal for his country and now he is on the cusp of another record.

The 33-Year-old is just one position shy of becoming the highest international goalscorer of all time and all he needs is 20 goals to break that record.

The highest ever goalscorer in International history is Iranian legend Ali Daei (109 goals)

Ronaldo now has four in this World Cup, more than any other player and if he keeps up the exploits, you never know.

The Real Madrid Superstar moved ahead of Hungary icon Ferenc Puskas (84 goals) after quickly heading past Morocco in Moscow.

The goal proved to be enough against Morocco who huffed and puffed but couldn’t get past Rio Patricio in the Portugal goal.

Ronaldo’s first international goal came in 2004 against Greece when they lost 2-1 and now, 14 years later and many awards on, he could be on the cusp of something truly great.

Portugal are now top of group B and if they can win again against Iran, then they could very well win the group.
