Joint-top Scorer In Men's International Football, Ronaldo Braces Against France
The Portugal star, Cristiano Ronaldo has become the joint-top scoring men's international player of all time.
He fired home two goals from the spot against France in a heavyweight Euro 2020 clash on Wednesday, 23rd June 2021.
That takes him up to 109 goals in 176 matches for the national team, putting him at the top of the list of goalscorers on the international stage.
Ronaldo needs one goal to become the sole highest scorer.
According to goal.com, he is currently tied with Iran legend Ali Daei, who scored 109 times in 149 matches between 1993 and 2006.
The pair are far ahead of any other player on the list, as Malaysia hero Mokhtar Dahari, who retired in 1985, is the third top scorer on 89 goals, and Hungary icon Ferenc Puskas finished his career in 1956 with 84.
The 36-year-old set several records in Portugal's opening game of the competition, with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner scoring twice in the latter stages of the 3-0 win against Hungary.
