It seems only a matter of time before Cristiano Ronaldo becomes the highest international goalscorer in history, which is why we've broken down all 106 of his goals for Portugal to date.
The forward broke two UEFA European Championship records during A Selecao's Group F clash against Hungary on Tuesday – becoming the tournament's all-time top goalscorer with 11 strikes, and becoming the first player to feature at five Euros – as he chases down Ali Daei's world record of 109 international goals for Iran.
How has Ronaldo scored his international goals?
When analysing the data, it is clear that he favours his right foot, but according to data from UEFA, the winger's heading ability is more potent than his left foot in international matches. Ronaldo is often accused of taking many penalties that inflate his numbers, but spot-kicks only make up 12 of his 106 international goals.
Left foot: 24 | Direct free-kicks: 10 |
Right foot: 57 | Open play: 84 |
Head: 25 | Penalties: 12 |
