Lionel Messi might be making the 2026 World Cup his playground but old rival Cristiano Ronaldo is certainly making history of his own.
While Ronaldo has so far not enjoyed the kind of tournament Messi has with Argentina, the 41-year-old continues to etch himself deeper into the record books.
Indeed, by scoring a brace for Portugal in its 5-0 win over Uzbekistan, the Al Nassr forward broke yet another record.
Those goals mean Ronaldo is the only player to score at six men’s World Cup finals, while his appearance for Portugal against Colombia also moved him closer to Messi in another achievement.
By playing for his country against Colombia, Ronaldo appeared in his 25 World Cup game.
