Portuguese Forward, Cristiano Ronaldo has said scoring in five World Championships is a rare achievement he would not have dreamt of.
Ronaldo made history on Thursday when he scored in Portugal’s first World Cup game against Ghana in Qatar. This made him to become the first man to score in five World Cups.
Reacting to the development, the former Manchester United star, in a post on his verified Facebook page on Friday, said that the achievement meant proof that there were no impossibilities.
“Scoring in five World Championships is achieving an achievement that I would never dare dream of, but it is also proof that there are no impossibilities. The pride I feel in representing Portugal is only comparable to the joy I feel in each goal I score for my country, translated into victories dedicated to our people. Let’s gooooo! This is just the beginning!” he posted.
The Portugal captain scored the first goal at Doha’s Stadium 974 in the 65th minute from the penalty spot. It was the 118th goal for his country. Portugal won the game by a score of 3-2, thanks to goals from Joao Felix and Rafael Leao and two late goals from Ghana.
Ronaldo, who is 37 years old, has scored more goals than anyone else in men’s international football. He has also played for Portugal in a record 18 World Cup games, which is also a record.
His most recent achievement came right after he left Man United on good terms.
