Portugal: Cristiano Ronaldo reaches century of international goals

Cristiano Ronaldo has become just the second player to ever reach 100 international goals.

Ronaldo reached the milestone just before half-time of Tuesday’s Nations League match against Sweden slamming home a free-kick outside the box to score the game’s first goal.

The five Ballon d’Or winner now has 101 international goals after scoring his second goal of the night in the 72nd minute.

The 35-year-old is only the second men’s player to reach 101 goals for his country after Ali Daei, who scored 109 times for Iran.

At the age of 19, Ronaldo scored his first international goal at Euro 2004. He has gone on to pass the likes of Eusebio and Pauleta to become Portugal’s all-time top goalscorer and has now more than doubled previous record-holder Pauleta, who netted 47 times for the Selecao.
