The Portuguese captain also set up Joao Felix for Portugal’s second goal, showcasing his all-round brilliance. “It’s an unforgettable moment,” said Ronaldo after the match. “I’m very proud and happy. It’s a record that will stay with me forever.” The thrashing of Andorra was a perfect setting for Ronaldo to break the record, with the Portuguese fans in Lisbon creating a deafening atmosphere. The result also kept Portugal’s hopes of qualifying for the 2022 World Cup alive, as they moved into second place in their group with two games to go. Ronaldo has now scored 772 goals for club and country combined, cementing his status as one of the greatest footballers of all time. His record-breaking performance was a fitting tribute to his incredible career, and a reminder that even at the age of 36, he remains one of the most dangerous attacking players in the world.
