As a point of comparison, Marta, a legendary player for the Brazilian women’s national team, scored for her country for twenty years in a row earlier this year. This achievement was accomplished by her when she scored twice in a victory over Jamaica by a score of 4-0. Before retiring in 2023, Christine Sinclair of Canada held the record for scoring in the most consecutive years (23), regardless of whether she was a male or a girl. However, she did not score in 2023.

Aside from that, Ronaldo is the holder of a multitude of records in men’s international football. Both milestones are marks that have never been broken before, with a combined total of 130 goals scored in 207 matches.

Sharing after the match, coach Martinez praised Ronaldo’s fighting spirit and desire to win in the Portuguese shirt: “Ronaldo’s contribution as captain is amazing. Everyone has witnessed it.” He scored two world-class goals, but I really like Ronaldo’s spirit and style of play. So do his teammates on the Portugal national team.
In addition to his excellent performance on the field, Ronaldo also shows a great sense of responsibility and leadership skills. He scored two goals but Ronaldo’s first choice is always to support his teammates. This shows the cohesion of the entire Portuguese team and is the most important value on the field and in the dressing room, as we prepare for a big tournament like the Euro.
