Cristiano Ronaldo continued his World Cup 2018 scoring streak with an early header against Morocco, to become Europe’s all-time top scorer with 85 international goals.

After scoring a hat-trick in Portugal’s remarkable 3-3 draw against Spain in the second Group B match last Friday, Ronaldo matched Ferenc Puskás's record as Europe's all-time leading international marksman.

Puskás scored 84 international goals for Hungary between 1945-1956.

But it took Ronaldo less than five minutes of the Morocco match to finally sur his tally. He powered home a header as his side raced into an early lead, confirming his place in the record books.

Ronaldo’s tally is only sured by Iran’s Ali Daei, who scored 109 goals in 149 appearances.

Ronaldo’s goal against Morocco took him back to the top of the World Cup 2018 goalscoring charts, with four goals from his opening two matches.

His record-breaking goal lifts him back above Russia’s Denis Cheryshev, who scored twice in the opening match against Saudi Arabia before getting on the scoresheet against Egypt in last night's match.

Meanwhile the finish sees Ronaldo become the first player since Jose Torres in 1966 to score a goal with his right foot, left foot and head in a single World Cup campaign.

Ronaldo’s 85 goal-haul includes five hat-tricks and one match in which he hit four goals. He has scored 14 braces with the remaining 38 goals coming in separate matches.

Thirty-nine of Ronaldo's goals have come at home, 30 away and 16 at major international tournaments.

Ronaldo has also obliterated his middling scoring record at previous World Cups.

In 2006, 2010 and 2014 Ronaldo managed just one goal at each tournament, compared to the four in two he has already chalked up in Russia.

Cr7 all I ever loved in football

all this shallow people,he's only useful in goals and you end up saying he's the best.....he cannot work for his ball, the ball is given to him......at the end its like he doesn't work,just static before he starts moving

omo goals no mean say you sabi play ball

Why would a sane person compare Ronaldo and messi in of goals.. Ronaldo is a pure striker.. Messi always has strikers he supplies.. Was Zidane rated for number of goals he scored?.
Ronaldo should be judged with goals,
Messi with dribbles, assist, etc..

Ronaldo is always closer to box 18, messi always closer to center circle..

Physically, they are built differently..

This is one of the reasons I don't go to viewing centers. I rather watch it at home

Messi (miss penalty) : i wee break ur record
CR7 (ororo) :......

This year ballon d' or.....Like for Ronaldo, Share for messi

Auladimeji:

O-ON
A- AVERAGE
T-THINKING

Imre Schlosser (Hungary) – 59 in 6. Abeg How many goals per match?

How many likes again for the G.O.A.T

Can you just acknowledge this feat without mentioning Messi? It seems Messi is Ronaldo's benchmark.

I wonder how Barcelona and Messi fans must feel.

This world cup is shaping out to be a Ronaldo show.

If Portugal should mistakenly win the world cup the way they won the Euros, many people fit commit suicide.
