Breaking down Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup goalscoring record & his odds to score at the 2026 World Cup presented by bet365.

Cristiano Ronaldo is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers in history, holding numerous records for the Portuguese national team. However, when it comes to the FIFA World Cup, his goal-scoring and decisive impact have sometimes been viewed as less prolific.

Ronaldo's World Cup journey began at the 2006 tournament in Germany, where he scored his first goal against Iran. He found the net again in South Africa in 2010 against North Korea and also scored at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, this time against Ghana.

His most productive tournament was the 2018 World Cup in Russia. On that occasion, Ronaldo scored four goals, including a memorable hat-trick against Spain during the group stage. He added another goal to his tally at the 2022 edition in Qatar, once again scoring against Ghana.

In addition to his eight goals, Cristiano Ronaldo made history by becoming the first male player to score in five consecutive World Cups (2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022), cementing his legacy in the competition.

Despite this milestone, criticism often points to the fact that all eight of his World Cup goals have been scored during the group stage. Ronaldo has never scored in the knockout phase of the tournament.
