Every record Cristiano Ronaldo shattered with his brace against Uzbekistan
Cristiano Ronaldo’s first-half double against Uzbekistan didn't just spark a 5-0 victory—it entirely rewrote the football history books. Take a look at the jaw-dropping statistics behind his latest masterclass:
• 6/6 Tournaments: Ronaldo is now the first player in football history (men's or women's) to score in six different World Cup editions (2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022, 2026). Lionel Messi, Marta, and Christine Sinclair remain tied on five.
• Age Defied: At 41 years and 138 days old, he is the second-oldest goalscorer in World Cup history, behind only Roger Milla (42 years, 39 days in 1994).
• 20-Year Longevity: Alongside Lionel Messi, Ronaldo shares the longest gap between a player's first and last World Cup goals (20 years and 11 days).
• All-Time Greats: Making his 24th World Cup appearance, Ronaldo has leveled Miroslav Klose and surpassed Paolo Maldini (23). Only Messi (28) and Lothar Matthäus (25) have more.
Roy Keane summed it up:
He is a billionaire who has won everything apart from the World Cup, but the hunger and desire to keep getting in there... to me, that is the great example for these lads.
