JAKARTA - Cristiano Ronaldo is still showing sharpness on the gridiron. The Al Nassr player scored four goals for Portugal in two Euro 2024 Qualification matches, recently.

The note made Ronaldo shot up leaving Lionel Messi's record on the international stage.

In the Portugal national team, Ronaldo is still a figure who has an important role. When facing Slovenia in the first match of the Euro 2024 Qualification, the former Manchester United player scored two goals in Portugal's 3-2 win over opponents.

Against Bosnia Herzegovina, Ronaldo contributed two more goals. At that time Selecao das Quinas won 5-0.

With an additional four goals in Portugal, Ronaldo has now collected 127 goals on the international stage. Quoted from Opta Joe, Ronaldo's goal record was superior to the previous record owner Ali Daei and left Lionel Messi's goal record.

Messi, who played for Argentina last week, failed to score against Paraguay. La Pulga are now still scoring 104 goals on the international stage or four goals behind Ali Daei's previous international record owner.

The distance between goals between Ronaldo and Messi still has the opportunity to change. The reason is, even though Ronaldo has completed an international match on FIFA Match Day October, he still has an agenda to compete again in the middle of next month to defend the Portugal national team.

Until throughout 2023, Ronaldo has scored nine goals and has become one of the most productive years in the international arena of the player. For achievements in the Portugal national team, Ronaldo, who has appeared 203 times, has scored 127 goals.
