Cristiano Ronaldo has solidified his status as a footballing legend after recently achieving the remarkable distinction of all- time leading goalscorer in FIFA World Cup qualifying matches. Ronaldo achieved this astounding landmark with his brace in Portugal’s 2-2 draw versus Hungary and reached 41 career goals in World Cups – surpassing Carlos Ruiz of Guatemala with 39 goals.
After the match, the 40-year star took to social media, thanking all the fans and teammates, saying “This was a proud moment for all of us!” and also adding, “We will seal qualification in November!” As expected, Ronaldo’s post went viral and tilted the scales further of momentum from fans and players either of muted or continued awe in his age-defying feat.
With all the odds stacked against him, he still continues to compete all the way at 40 years old. His leadership, strong sense of discipline, and aggression around goal continues to be pivotal to the Portugal campaign. In a sporting environment that usually bemoans the passage of age, Ronaldo is proving that age is merely a number. The men of Portugal are five points ahead of Hungary and only three points away from qualification to the next World Cup. Ronaldo still clearly wants to play.
