Portuguese football icon Cristiano Ronaldo has added another accolade to his illustrious career, securing a Guinness World Records certificate for the most wins in international football. The 40-year-old legend received the honor ahead of Portugal’s UEFA Nations League clash against Denmark, celebrating 132 victories in 218 appearances for his national team. The milestone underscores Ronaldo’s enduring dominance on the global stage, even as he navigates the twilight of his career.
The award was presented by a Guinness representative in the presence of the Portuguese Football Federation president, marking a proud moment for both Ronaldo and his nation. Despite his age, the former Real Madrid and Manchester United star remains a linchpin for Portugal, though he has openly stated his readiness to step aside if it serves the team’s greater good. His selflessness, paired with his relentless drive, continues to inspire fans and teammates alike.
Ronaldo’s hunger for success shows no signs of waning. He remains a prolific scorer for both his club, Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, and the Portuguese national team. The striker has set his sights on an audacious target: reaching 1,000 career goals before hanging up his boots. With his current tally already among the highest in football history, few would bet against him achieving the feat.
This latest recognition adds to Ronaldo’s long list of records, which includes being the all-time leading scorer in men’s international football and holding multiple Champions League titles. As he continues to defy age and expectations, Ronaldo’s legacy as one of the greatest footballers ever only grows stronger. The football world watches eagerly to see what the living legend will conquer next on his extraordinary journey.
