Today, as Groups G and H began their campaigns, the panel reviews all of the World Cup action.
In Brazil’s 3-2 victory over Ghana, Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to score at five World Cups. Brazil’s attacking prowess was on full display as Richarlison scored twice, including a stunning volley, to get the Seleço started.
In the meantime, Switzerland defeated Cameroon in a cagey match at Al Janoub Stadium, while South Korea and Uruguay played out an entertaining 0-0 draw.
One look at the statistics demonstrates why Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the only man to have scored more than 800 goals for club and country and has won the Ballon d’Or five times. He also has the most goals in men’s international football.
Additionally, Cristiano Ronaldo has led Portugal to victory in the UEFA Nations League in 2018-19 and the UEFA European Championship in 2016.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal failed to win the FIFA World Cup, and the superstar hasn’t always been at his best in the main event.
In his 22 appearances at the FIFA World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored eight goals in each of the following editions: 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022. In fact, Cristiano Ronaldo scored in Portugal’s opening match against Ghana at the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar to become the first man to score in five World Cups.
Ronaldo is only one goal behind the legendary Eusebio, who has scored nine goals in FIFA World Cups and is Portugal’s top World Cup goal scorer.
