Despite moving away from the spotlight of European football, he\u2019s still racking up goals like a machine in the Saudi Pro League, where he plays for Al Nassr. And when it comes to playing for his country, retirement isn\u2019t even on his mind.<\/p>\n<p>Ronaldo remains a crucial player for Portugal. While they didn\u2019t manage to win Euro 2024, Ronaldo\u2019s legendary goal-scoring form is far from over. In fact, in September 2024, he reached an incredible milestone by scoring his 900th career goal during an international match, cementing his legacy even further.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How many goals does Cristiano Ronaldo have for Portugal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Cristiano Ronaldo holds the title of the all-time leading goalscorer in men\u2019s international football, boasting an incredible 132 goals in 214 appearances for Portugal. His goal-scoring ability is nothing short of legendary.<\/p>\n<p>Ronaldo shattered the previous record held by Iran\u2019s Ali Daei when he scored two goals against the Republic of Ireland in September 2021, officially taking the crown as the top international scorer.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to his goal tally, Ronaldo also tops the list for most international appearances. His 214 matches for Portugal put him ahead of Kuwait\u2019s Bader Al-Mutawa, who has played 196 times for his country. Ronaldo\u2019s dominance on both fronts continues to set him apart as one of the greatest ever in the history of international football.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table style=\"height: 336px\" width=\"1023\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Competition<\/th>\n<th>Games<\/th>\n<th>Goals<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>World Cup<\/td>\n<td>22<\/td>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>World Cup qualification<\/td>\n<td>47<\/td>\n<td>36<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>European Championship<\/td>\n<td>30<\/td>\n<td>14<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>European Championship\u00a0qualifier<\/td>\n<td>44<\/td>\n<td>41<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>UEFA Nations League<\/td>\n<td>13<\/td>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>FIFA Confederations Cup<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>International friendlies<\/td>\n<td>54<\/td>\n<td>22<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Total<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>214<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>132<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cristiano Ronaldo isn\u2019t slowing down anytime soon when it comes to scoring goals.
