Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated another significant accomplishment on September 6. He broke Lionel Messi’s record to become the player with the most goals in FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. The Portuguese superstar, still playing at a high level, contributed to Portugal’s impressive 5-0 win against Armenia in Yerevan. Ronaldo’s two goals boosted his World Cup qualifying goals to 38, eclipsing Messi’s previous record of 36. He is now just one goal away from Carlos Ruiz of Guatemala, who has 39 goals. The match also saw Joao Felix, who recently joined Al Nassr, score two goals. Joao Cancelo also scored, and afterwards, he showed his respect for his teammate Diogo Jota, who died in a recent accident. This victory solidifies Portugal’s top position in Group F. Their next match is against Hungary on Tuesday.
