Ronaldo Moves Fourth In European All-time International Goalscorers List B by Punctual(m): 5:15pm On Mar 27, 2017 |
Cristiano Ronaldo moved to fourth in the all-
time list of European international
goalscorers after scoring twice for Portugal
against Hungary.
The Real Madrid forward starred in
Saturday’s 3-0 win, first striking with his left
foot from 20 yards, before bringing up the
70th international goal of his career by
curling a low free-kick into the bottom
corner.
Ronaldo’s double takes him to fourth in the
list of top European international scorers,
behind Ferenc Puskas (84 for Hungary),
Sandor Kocsis (75 for Hungary) and Miroslav
Klose (71 for Germany).
Leading European goalscorers in
international history
Player (Nation) Goals
Caps
Ferenc Puskas (Hungary) 84 85
Sandor Kocsis (Hungary) 75 68
Miroslav Klose (Germany) 71 137
Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) 70 137
But the former Manchester United forward
is still a long way off the all-time leading
goalscorer in history, Ali Daei, who netted
109 goals in 149 matches for Iran.
Ronaldo faces Sweden on Tuesday and
could move into the top 10 in the list of top
international scorers in the world if he nets
another double.
But, speaking after Saturday’s triumph, he
insists he is more focused on firing Portugal
to the World Cup than his own individual
feats.
“I know how many goals I have but that’s
not the most important thing,” he told
Portuguese outlet RTP. “What matters is that
we won and we’re in the fight to go to the
World Cup.
“We started out timid. We were slow to
react to their tactics, but everything changed
with the first goal. The team played better,
more confidently, and the goals came
naturally.
“The team is good. We have a lot of young
players.”
