He is also the first player from Europe to achieve this feat. This hasn\u2019t happened since <strong>Ali Daei<\/strong>, who, in his time, scored 109 goals for Iran. How was the star born and what are some of his notable achievements? Is he the greatest player in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/portugal\/startseite\/verein\/3300\">Portugal<\/a> or in the world, as well?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Beginnings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first time Ronaldo scored a goal for Portugal was at <strong>the UEFA Euro 2004<\/strong> against <strong>Greece<\/strong>. He was only 19 then. He did not bring his team victory, but it was the start of a legend. <strong>Russia<\/strong> was the first opponent who received several goals from him in the 2006 FIFA World Cup Qualification. There were matches where he was simply unstoppable. In 2016, against <strong>Andorra<\/strong>, he scored 4 goals. He has been a threat on the field for more than 15 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hat-Tricks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ronaldo also has a total of 9 hat-tricks. He scored the first one against <strong>Northern Ireland<\/strong> in the 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualification. More impressive, however, is his performance against <strong>Andorra<\/strong> in 2018. Three of his hat-tricks happened in 2019, meaning that Ronaldo is not slowing down. If anything, he is more of a threat than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reaching 100<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ronaldo was slowly approaching the mark of 100 international goals back in November 2019. That was a good year for the player and his win against <strong>Lithuania<\/strong> brought him to a score of 98. With one more goal against <strong>Luxembourg<\/strong>, he was ready to claim the achievement. Unfortunately, that is when his opportunities stopped for a while. The rampage of the coronavirus has done a number on the world of football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The match between <a href=\"http:\/\/13.53.80.232\/2020\/09\/06\/uefa-nations-league-matchday-1-september-5\/\">Portugal and Croatia<\/a> seemed like the perfect chance to get back on track. Though his team won with 4-1, Ronaldo had to sit the game out. However, on September 8, Ronaldo finally made it with two goals against Sweden. <strong>The Nations League<\/strong> saw the player make history. As the league is still in progress, it is likely that Ronaldo is going to break a few more records. In fact, he is currently <strong>the active leader in the number of international goals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Achievements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This was not the first notable achievement of the 35-year-old. He has won <strong>Ballon d\u2019Or<\/strong> five times, was named <strong>Best FIFA Men\u2019s Playe<\/strong>r five times, and <strong>UEFA Best Player in Europe<\/strong> three times. In addition to winning <strong>Player of the Yea<\/strong>r and <strong>Footballer of the year<\/strong> five and ten times, respectively, he was dubbed <strong>European Champion<\/strong> in 2016. Ronaldo is slowly making his way towards being the best footballer of all time. Most of his achievements come from the time when he was in <strong>Real Madrid<\/strong>. This is natural, as he spent 9 years with them. He was also an asset in Sporting CP and Manchester United. At the time of writing, he is still with <strong>Juventus<\/strong>. We can\u2019t wait for the next time he astounds the world of football.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cristiano Ronaldo became the second man to reach 100 international goals.
