Cristiano Ronaldo has acknowledged the Guinness World Record award presented to him for smashing the international goal’s record with his 111 tally.
The Portuguese sensation is now the all-time men’s international top scorer after netting a brace in Portugal’s 2-1 win against Ireland on Wednesday, September 1.
Ronaldo’s record-breaking moment came in the 89th minute as he scored Portugal’s equalizer before going ahead to grab the winner in the 96th minute of the tie.
Reacting to the news, Ronaldo reacting on his Instagram wrote:“Thank you to the Guiness World Records. Always good to be recognized as a world record breaker. Let’s keep trying to set the numbers even higher!”
Recall the Portugal captain equalled Ali Daei’s record of 109 international goals after scoring twice in Portugal’s 2-2 draw against France in the Euro 2020 group stages earlier this summer, but has now surpassed the Iran legend.
He has been presented with the Guinness World Record certificate following that feat and Ronaldo has said it is good to be recognised as a record breaker.
