Cristiano Ronaldo has done it again. The Portuguese football legend has set another milestone, becoming the all-time leading goalscorer in FIFA World Cup qualifying history.
Ronaldo reached this remarkable achievement after scoring twice in Portugal’s 2–2 draw against Hungary. With these goals, the 40-year-old superstar now has 41 goals in World Cup qualifiers, surpassing the previous record of 39 held by Guatemala’s Carlos Ruiz.
Following the match, Ronaldo took to social media to thank his fans and teammates, calling the achievement “a proud moment” and promising to “seal qualification in November.”
His message quickly went viral, as fans and football greats around the world celebrated his unmatched consistency, dedication, and drive.
Even at 40, Ronaldo continues to defy age and expectations, leading Portugal with the same passion and determination that have defined his two-decade-long career.
His leadership and ability to perform under pressure make him not only a record-breaker but also an enduring inspiration for young players everywhere.
Portugal currently holds a five-point lead over Hungary in Group F, with two matches remaining to secure their place in the upcoming World Cup. Once again, Ronaldo’s focus and hunger for success show that true legends never stop chasing greatness.
