Cristiano Ronaldo Sets All-Time Men's International Goal Record

It's been quite a week for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Days after securing his return to Manchester United from Juventus in an abrupt and blockbuster transfer, he now has sole possession of the all-time men's international goal record, scoring his 110th goal for Portugal in Wednesday's World Cup qualifying match vs. the Republic of Ireland.

Ronaldo had tied Iranian great Ali Daei, at his previously unassailable total of 109, with a pair of penalty kicks against France to close the group stage at Euro 2020 but was made to wait a little while longer to set the record outright after Portugal's ouster at the hands of Belgium in the round of 16.
