Cristiano Ronaldo extends lead over Lionel Messi – 137th international goal

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to rewrite the record books. The Portugal and Al-Nassr forward scored the decisive goal in the UEFA Nations League semifinal against Germany, helping his team secure a 2–1 victory.

The 40-year-old striker found the net in the 68th minute, marking his 137th goal for the Portuguese national team — a world record for international goals, Idman.biz reports.

This also brings Ronaldo’s total career goal tally to an astonishing 937, further widening the gap between him and his longtime rival, Lionel Messi. The Inter Miami forward currently has 112 goals for Argentina.

Cristiano Ronaldo's international honors with Portugal includes UEFA Euro 2016 title, UEFA Nations League 2019 title, Euro 2004 silver, Euro 2012 and 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup bronze.
