What to expect from Cristiano Ronaldo at the World Cup 2026?
Cristiano Ronaldo, who amazingly made his Portuguese debut in 2003, once again set a sterling example for his teammates during the side’s successful World Cup 2026 qualifying campaign. He topped the team’s scoring chart, finding the back of the net on five occasions.
The Portuguese legend sits pretty at the top of the all-time international goalscoring list, having netted 143 goals in 226 appearances for his country. With his closest rival, Lionel Messi, 27 goals behind him, it’s unlikely Ronaldo’s record will be beaten anytime soon, if ever.
Three of Ronaldo’s eight previous World Cup tournament goals came in one outstanding group match against Iberian rivals, Spain, back in 2018. CR7 completed his hat-trick with a jaw-dropping free-kick in the 88th minute to level the scores at 3-3.
It's no surprise that Portugal’s rise in the FIFA rankings has coincided with Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival on the international scene. Prior to them qualifying for Korea/Japan 2002, they had only taken part in two World Cups over 70 years.
Portugal are now major players on the global scene, involved in every World Cup since then and memorably finishing 4th in 2006. In addition, Selecao das Quinas won the 2016 European Championship, and they were also crowned UEFA Nations League champions in 2019 and 2025.
