Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first footballer to score in five World Cups

The Portuguese superstar has accomplished yet another unbelievable feat.

Manchester United announced on Tuesday that the 37-year-old midfielder will be leaving the club immediately. Ronaldo delivered a contentious interview to Piers Morgan last week in which he criticized the club's facilities, said the Glazers didn't care about the club and stated that he didn't respect Erik ten Hag.

Despite the fact that Ronaldo stated his desire to leave the club last summer, the Dutchman chose to keep him. The Portuguese international is now focused on the national team and will begin looking for a club in January.

Cristiano Ronaldo will play for Portugal at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, which will most likely be his final opportunity to win the championship. The only thing lacking from Ronaldo's otherwise excellent CV is the trophy. He will strive to overcome the disappointment of leaving Manchester United by captaining the national squad in the tournament.

But, as Ronaldo's World Cup career comes to a conclusion, how many goals has he scored on the biggest stage of all? Find out how many World Cup goals Ronaldo has scored for Portugal.

How frequently does Cristiano Ronaldo score for Portugal at the World Cup?

Ronaldo has seven goals in four World Cup appearances. He scored his first goal in only his second World Cup appearance in 2006. In the group stages, he scored a penalty kick in the 80th minute to assist Portugal to defeat Iran 2-0. Ronaldo scored his first World Cup goal at the age of 21 years and 132 days, becoming him the youngest Portuguese player to do so.

In 2010, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner scored the solitary goal in a 7-0 victory over North Korea.

Ronaldo had an injury four years later and missed the 2014 World Cup. He only had one goal, a late winner against Ghana, but it wasn't enough to avoid Portugal from being eliminated in the group round.

In 2018, Ronaldo enjoyed his most successful World Cup in Russia. He scored three goals in a 3-3 draw with Spain before scoring the game-winning goal in a 1-0 victory over Morocco. Ronaldo became the first player to score in five World Cups with his goal against Ghana in the FIFA World Cup 2022.

Ronaldo has had 117 goals in all competitions since his debut for Portugal in 2003. As a result, he is the player with the most goals for Portugal. He also holds the record for most goals scored in international soccer, breaking the previous mark of 109 set by Iranian attacker Ali Daei.
