Cristiano Ronaldo made his Portugal National Team debut in 2003 at 18-years-old, and has enjoyed one of the greatest international careers ever, and holds the record for the most international goals of all-time (143).
CR7 has played in five World Cups in his Portuguese career, and is on the verge of reaching a record breaking sixth World Cup in 2026. In those five World Cup appearances he has played 22 games, scored eight goals, and assisted twice.
The legendary forward was first named as the captain of his nation in 2007, and has worn the armband regularly since 2008. Even at 41-years-old, Ronaldo has proven that he still has an eye for goal. He has scored eight goals in his last eight appearances for Portugal.
Ronaldo was a huge influence on the Portuguese teams that lifted the European Championship in 2016, and UEFA Nations League in 2019 and 2025.
Cristiano Ronaldo's club career has been a roller coaster but one thing has stayed consistent - scoring goals.
Ronaldo began his career with Sporting CP in the Liga Portugal, before moving to Manchester United in the Premier League where his talents really took off. He has since scored over 130 goals in four different leagues, including 438 with Real Madrid, and won the UEFA Champions League five times (once with Manchester United & four times with Real Madrid).
Ronaldo has a incredible record of 1084 goal contributions (822 goals & 262 assists) in 1089 club appearances.

Cristiano Ronaldo has won an incredible amount of trophies and brought success to nearly ever team that he has played for.
In addition to his five UEFA Champions League triumphs, Ronaldo has been awarded the Ballon d'Or five times, which honors the best player in the world for a single year. Ronaldo won his five Ballon d'Or's in 2008, 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017.
He has been the top scorer in 22 different competitions, and was the top scorer in Europe four times. CR7 has also won 32 team trophies, throughout his club career.
Ronaldo's current market value is $12 million, due to his advanced age.
His market value reached its peak of $78 million in 2015, but that number would have been much higher in todays age.
