Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo made history at Euro 2020 when he scored his 10th and 11th goals in a record fifth tournament appearance — making him the leading men’s scorer in the Championship’s history.
The Portugal captain overtook France great Michel Platini with his goal against Hungary at the Puskas Stadium in Budapest when he converted a penalty kick in the 85th minute in their 3-0 win over Hungary.
The Juventus striker took his tally to 106 goals in 176 appearances for Portugal, three fewer than Iranian Ali Daei’s all-time men’s record of 109 international goals. The all-time record is held by Christine Sinclair of Canada, with 186 goals.
Ronaldo is the only man to score in five European Championship tournaments, extending his own record.
It was a double celebration for the Portugal talisman, who set a new men’s record for five Euros appearances. He first appeared at a European Championship in 2004 when he helped Portugal reached the final on home soil. He has played in every tournament since and scored in each.
