Cristiano Ronaldo was at the peak of his powers once again last night on the international stage.
The Portuguese legend scored four times in the a 5-1 win away in Lithuania, taking his tally to 93 goals for his country.
He is now just 16 shy of equalling the world record for international goals and does now hold the record for goals from European players.
Given he is still scoring for fun and looks as fit as ever, there’s no doubt that he will carry on until he breaks Ali Daei’s record of 109 international strikes.
The five-time Ballon D’or has now scored 54 hat-tricks throughout his career. For reference, Messi currently has 51 hat-tricks for Barcelona and Argentina combined.
Ronaldo scored 44 hat-tricks for Real Madrid in all competitions, eight for Portugal and one apiece for both Juventus and Manchester United.
Cr7, as he is popularly known, has scored against 40 different nations. He is the only person to achieve such a remarkable feat.
The 34-year-old is well and truly proving that age is just a number in the footballing world right now.
