By winning yet another coveted Guinness World Record honor for having the most victories in international football, Cristiano Ronaldo has once again cemented his place in football history. With a career that consistently defies expectations, this incredible accomplishment further cements his reputation as one of the greatest football players of all time.
In November 2024, after guiding his country to a decisive 5-1 victory over Poland, the Portugal captain formally broke the record. With this triumph, he surpassed the previous record set by Sergio Ramos, a former Real Madrid colleague, with his 132nd international victory. Fans, teammates, and football commentators celebrated the milestone in great numbers, recognizing the enormity of his achievement.
Ronaldo was formally given the unique Guinness World Record plaque in honor of his exceptional accomplishment prior to Portugal’s pivotal second leg against Denmark in the UEFA Nations League quarterfinal at the Estadio Jose Alvalade. Football officials, coaching staff, and other players attended the ceremony, which demonstrated his lasting influence on the game.
The football legend is 40 years old and still pushing the envelope, breaking records that might take decades to break. Ronaldo has established multiple Guinness World Records over the years, proving his supremacy in the sport. Among his most renowned recordings are:
The greatest number of goals in international football a feat that solidifies his status as the all-time top-scoring international player.
🏆 First player to reach 100 goals in the UEFA Champions League A historic accomplishment that demonstrates his exceptional consistency and skill in European football.
The most-followed male on Instagram, he is a cultural and sporting hero due to his amazing global influence outside of the football field.
Even though Ronaldo added yet another major award to his already impressive career, he had a bad game against Denmark, missing a penalty in a pivotal time. But as a player known for his tenacity, he is still committed to giving his club and national team his best efforts.
After reaching this significant milestone, Ronaldo will return to club football and play for his team, Al-Nassr, in the fiercely contested Saudi Pro League. On April 4, he will lead his club in a pivotal matchup against bitter rivals Al-Hilal, marking his next significant challenge. Fans are excitedly awaiting another legendary performance from the Portuguese superstar, and the match is predicted to be an exciting duel.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s legacy is unrivaled, solidifying his place among the greatest sportsmen in football history as he continues to set records and motivate millions of fans worldwide.
