The legend hasn’t stopped yet! Set 5 records in one year, still at the top at 40 years old, aiming to win the World Cup

Not long ago, in the 2026 United States, Canada and Mexico World Cup European Qualifiers, the 40-year-old veteran Cristiano Ronaldo once again created a miracle. Although the Portuguese national team and the Hungarian national team drew with a score of 2:2, after 4 rounds in Group F, Portugal remained unbeaten with 3 wins and 1 draw. They have accumulated 10 points. As long as they can remain unbeaten in the remaining 2 rounds, they will compete in next year's World Cup as the top spot in Group F. There is no doubt that for their strong strength, the situation of qualifying is very good.

In this game, Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice and scored twice, performing a wonderful score. Since then, his number of goals in various World Cup qualifiers has reached an astonishing 41 goals, completely surpassing the record of 39 goals held by Guatemala's legendary superstar Carlos Ruiz, and becoming the first person in history. And after entering 2025, Ronaldo has broken many records. Let us take a look at some of the most representative records!

The national team has gained a lot and consolidated its position as the number one player.

First of all, let’s talk about the record of the national team. In addition to what we mentioned above, surpassing Ruiz and becoming the first preliminaries top scorer in history, we also need to pay attention to one thing, that is, the current players ranked behind Ronaldo are Messi. Messi's 36 goals and Lewandowski's 33 goals. After the South American World Cup preliminaries, considering that Messi is likely to retire after the next World Cup and Lewandowski has also considered retirement, I am afraid that Ronaldo's record will be sealed for a long time.

In addition, counting this game, Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved the national team's record of scoring in 5 consecutive games, and this was achieved when he was already 40 years old. This is a very remarkable performance. Moreover, his total number of goals for the national team has exceeded 140. From this point of view, he is still making history of his own. As he enters the end of his career, he is in very good shape and has only one goal, which is to win the World Cup next year.

The club has repeatedly made history, and the record is far ahead.

Let’s talk about the club level. Although he has left the five major European leagues, Ronaldo’s condition is still good after joining the Saudi League. As the core of Riyadh’s victory, he has scored 70 goals for the team. Among all players who joined the Saudi League during the same period, he is a unique presence.

Not only that, in the final stage of last season, he not only won the league's Golden Boot with 25 goals, but also raised his club's total goals to 800 goals. He is the only player in football history who can achieve this achievement. In addition, he scored a wonderful 30-meter world wave in the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League. At the age of 39 years and 89 days, he set a new record for the oldest player to score in the AFC Champions League. And he currently has 4 goals in 4 league games. If he maintains this form, he may even have a chance to win the Golden Boot again.

Signed a super contract and created sports history.

Finally, let’s talk about an astonishing record set by Ronaldo off the court. After the contract expired, the Victory team directly offered an extremely attractive contract in order to retain Ronaldo’s golden brand. This contract was in the form of 1+1. Ronaldo’s annual salary alone directly reached an astonishing 183 million euros. This is a terrifying contract that cannot be offered in any sport or league. Not only that, Victory also generously gave 15% of the team's shares, making Ronaldo the team's captain and owner starting from this season.

What is even more exciting is that the Victory Team will also equip him with a private team of dozens of people to manage Ronaldo's activities in an all-round way, from daily life and travel to on and off the court. This is a treatment that has never been seen in the history of football, or even in the entire sports world. And looking at it this way, I am afraid that no player will be able to match Ronaldo's height in the future. After all, with his commercial value and influence, it will be difficult to produce another player of the same level in the future.
