    Cristiano Ronaldo has once again carved his name deeper into football’s history books after a record-breaking performance in Portugal’s World Cup qualifying clash against Hungary.

    The Portuguese icon is now the outright leading scorer in World Cup qualifying history, netting 41 goals in 50 appearances. Before his latest heroics, Ronaldo was level with former Guatemala striker Carlos Ruiz, who held the joint record with 39 goals.

    The 40-year-old captain continues to redefine longevity in football. His brace against Hungary not only secured Portugal a crucial win but also pushed his overall international tally to 143 goals in 225 appearances, a run that began with his senior debut back in 2003 at just 18 years old.

    His latest strikes came after Portugal fell behind early at the Estadio José Alvalade, with Hungary’s Attila Szalai opening the scoring. But Ronaldo quickly took charge of the game, equalizing in the 22nd minute before turning the scoreline around in first-half stoppage time.

    The goals marked his first World Cup qualifying strikes of the year, helping him stretch his lead over long-time rival Lionel Messi, who currently sits on 36 goals in 72 qualifiers.

    At 40, Ronaldo shows no signs of slowing down. His sharpness, leadership, and unmatched hunger remain as fierce as ever, driving Portugal closer to another appearance at the World Cup.

    With every goal, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner continues to remind the world why he is one of the game’s greatest ever, a legend whose name is destined to live on long after the final whistle.
