Ronaldo to play for Portugal’s national team. Portugal’s career of Al-Nassr superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to resume. The illustrious forward will be called up by Roberto Martinez for the team’s European qualifying games against Liechtenstein and Luxembourg.
Ronaldo holds the all-time appearance mark for Portugal. In reality, he and Kuwait’s Bader Al-Mutawa are tied for the most international football appearances made. With 118 goals to his credit, Ronaldo is also the leading scorer in the annals of international football.
In place of the seasoned player in the offense for Portugal’s round of 16 matches against Switzerland was Goncalo Ramos. Against the Swiss, Ramos struck a stunning hat trick.
In the end, Morocco defeated Portugal in the semifinals. With the loss, Fernando Santos’ tenure as manager came to a close. During the World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo was a free agent. Since then, he has signed with the Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr. He has played in nine games for the SPL side, scoring eight goals and assisting twice.
Cristiano Ronaldo continues to hold the title for most goals scored in the UEFA Champions League despite no longer competing in Europe. He has 140 UEFA Champions League goals to his credit. In a recent 7-0 thrashing of RB Leipzig by Manchester City in the second half of their UEFA Champions League matchup, Erling Haaland scored five goals.
The former Dortmund attacker currently leads Europe’s top football league with 33 goals. He set a record for the youngest player to achieve 30 goals by doing so in just 25 games.
After the game, Stones predicted that Haaland would surpass Ronaldo’s record, according to the Mirror: “He would undoubtedly prosper from it. Due to his hunger, attitude, and professionalism, I firmly think he is capable of achieving his goals, and I would dearly love to see him succeed.”
Stones added: “He appears to just want to succeed. That mindset, in my opinion, makes receiving personal praise effortless and unnecessary. Although I could be completely incorrect, I believe Erling is a great team player and is headed in that direction to set more records.”
But throughout his tenure, Ronaldo collected five UEFA Champions League championships. As a team, Manchester City has yet to be victorious.
