Christian Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo has been awarded the FIFA Special The Best Award
Recognised for becoming the highest-scoring male in international football history
The Portuguese expressed his delight and gratitude
“I think It’s much harder to score goals at international level these days,” said Ronaldo in 1997. “You can’t expect to score against Saudi Arabia or Australia or any other national team in the modern era. That record is not something I think about.” Those were the words of Ronaldo in 1997. ‘O Fenômeno’ was 21, an out-and-out striker and had 20 goals in 30 caps to his name, but was trying to extinguish talk of whether he’d one day break Pele’s 77-goal Brazil record. Ronaldo went on to retire as one of the greatest marksmen in football history and with 62 goals for his country. If the masses speculated over whether Ronaldo could become the highest-scoring male in international football history back then, nobody did the same over another Ronaldo when he was 21. The latter had netted 12 goals in 40 appearances for Portugal and was a winger.
Cristiano Ronaldo was, however, a freak of nature. Indeed, 49 goals in his last 47 internationals catapulted Cristiano past Ali Daei, on to 110 overall and made him the highest-scoring male of all time.
