🔝World record: CR7 is the top scorer in World Cup qualifiers | OneFootball

The Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo has once again etched his name into the history books of world football. At 40 years old, the legendary forward has officially become the all-time top scorer in FIFA World Cup qualifying.

The Goal of the Feat: The Mark at 40

The historic milestone was achieved last night, in an exciting match against Hungary that ended on a sour note as Szoboszlai scored the equalizer in the final minutes.

However, Cristiano not only reached his record, but also scored a brace, extending it to 41 goals. He is now 52 goals away from reaching the 1000-goal mark.

Regardless of the adverse result for his team, it is undeniable that, in the history of World Cup qualifiers, Cristiano Ronaldo already has the throne secured.
