List of international goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo is the all-time top goalscorer for the Portugal national football team and has the most international goals among currently active players. As of 26 March 2018, he has scored 81 goals in 149 appearances since his debut on 20 August 2003.[1]
On 5 March 2014, he scored twice in Portugal's 5–1 friendly win over Cameroon to take his tally to 49 goals, thus becoming his country's all-time leading goalscorer, surpassing the 47 set by Pauleta.[2] On 14 November 2014, he scored the only goal in a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying match against Armenia, his 23rd in European Championship matches. This surpassed the record previously held by Turkey's Hakan Şükür and Denmark's Jon Dahl Tomasson.[3] He has scored five international hat-tricks and on one occasion, four international goals in a single match.[1]
Ronaldo has participated in eight major tournaments: four UEFA European Championships in 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016, three FIFA World Cups in 2006, 2010 and 2014, and one FIFA Confederations Cup in 2017, and scored in all of them.[1] Following Portugal's win at UEFA Euro 2016, Ronaldo lifted the trophy as his team's captain,[4] and was also awarded the Silver Boot as the joint second-highest goalscorer of the tournament, with three goals and three assists;[5] he was also named to the team of the tournament for the third time in his career.[6][7][8] He has scored nine goals at the European Championships, three at the World Cup finals and two at the Confederations Cup.[1] Ronaldo has scored 30 goals in FIFA World Cup qualifiers, and 20 in UEFA Euro qualifiers, hence becoming the first player to score 50 goals in European qualifiers.[9] As of May 2018[update] he is second in the list of all-time top scorers in European qualifiers, behind Poland's Robert Lewandowski.[9] His other 17 goals have come in friendly matches. The opponents against whom he has scored most often are Armenia, Andorra, Latvia and Sweden with five goals.[1] He has scored nine international goals at Lisbon's Estádio da Luz, his most at a single ground.
