Since 30 years, Ronaldo scored 85 goals for Portugal.
By comparing, only five other players scored more than 85 goals.
This means in the second half of his international career. More than one legends such as Ferrenck Buskas, Pele, Diego Maradona and Jerd Muller – or current players such as Neymar and Harry Kane – have registered in their entire international professions.
“It is difficult to put words,” said Roberto Martinez, president of Portugal.
“As a person, when you succeed, you wake up and have less hunger. But not Cristiano.”
While his international colleague, Bernardo Silva, added: “He is his ambition to continue.
“It is never easy – it's still hungry to go every day.
“He was doing this for more than 20 years. It is difficult, but here we are with us and we are happy that he registered again.”
