Portugal beat Germany 2-1 on Wednesday night thanks to a brace from striker Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal on Wednesday night took him to 937 goals in his career.
Cristiano Ronaldo, 40, has played 220 games for Portugal, scoring 137 goals in all competitions, and is now aiming to reach 1,000 goals before retiring from international football.
To achieve this, he would probably have to score at least 26 goals in the next three years. Some analysts say that Cristiano could have played until his late teens, but his ability to score those goals has declined. There are also those who say that reaching 1,000 goals is possible if he changes the league he plays in and moves to a much easier one, which will make it easier for him to score the goals he needs to reach 1,000 goals.
It’s hard to talk about Cristiano Ronaldo without mentioning his teammate, Lionel Messi. Messi is very different from Cristiano Ronaldo because Messi has already scored 865 goals.
