Germany vs Portugal: Ronaldo's Stellar Performance
Ronaldo played a pivotal role in leading Portugal to a historic victory over Germany, marking their first win against this opponent in 25 years. Prior to this match, Germany was the only national team Ronaldo had never defeated, suffering five consecutive losses. The last time Portugal triumphed over Germany was during Euro 2000. This recent victory not only ended that streak but also secured Portugal's place in the final, while elevating Ronaldo's international goal tally to 137 in 220 matches, contributing to his impressive career total of 937 goals, all of which are records in men's football.
Is Ronaldo Approaching the 1,000-Goal Milestone?
With 937 goals to his name, Ronaldo is just 63 goals shy of reaching the remarkable 1,000-goal milestone, a feat no player has officially achieved. While legends like Pele and Romario have claimed to surpass this mark, their totals included unofficial friendly matches. Given Ronaldo's performance, including 35 goals last season, he could potentially reach this milestone in less than two years. If anyone is capable of achieving this, it is undoubtedly him.
