Records Cristiano Ronaldo Can Break At FIFA World Cup 2022

The Portugal skipper has scored in his previous four appearances in the competition and if he manages to find the back of the net in Qatar, he will become the only player to score in five different editions of the FIFA World Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo debuted in the competition in 2006 and has scored seven goals for his county so far with his first coming against Iran. The 37-year-old is only two short of the great Eusebio, who is Portugal's leading scorer at the World Cups with nine goals.

Portugal will begin their campaign against Ghana on November 24, 2022, in Doha. The 2016 European champions will then face Uruguay in Lusail before ending their group stage against South Korea in Doha.
