Milan, 23 June (LaPresse) – With his goal against Uzbekistan, 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo has rightfully gone down in World Cup history as the only player to have scored at least one goal in six different editions of the tournament. Ronaldo scored his first World Cup goal against Iran at the 2006 tournament in Germany. His first goal in the World Cup finals as captain of Portugal came in South Africa in 2010, against North Korea. Ronaldo scored his third goal in his third World Cup at Brazil 2014, finding the net against Ghana. Without a doubt, Ronaldo’s best World Cup performance to date was his hat-trick against Spain on the opening day of Russia 2018. In Russia, CR7 also found the net against Morocco. History was made at Stadium 974 in Qatar when Ronaldo became the first player ever to score in five World Cup tournaments, converting a penalty against Ghana. A record later equalled by Messi and broken once again today by CR7.
