Cristiano Ronaldo made a world-record 197th men’s international appearance in Portugal’s Euro 2024 qualifying opener in Lisbon.
Ronaldo moved level with Kuwait forward Bader Al-Mutawa on 196 caps when he faced Morocco at the World Cup.
The 38-year-old – now playing in Saudi Arabia for Al Nassr – has scored a men’s record 118 international goals.
He made his international debut in 2003 and became the first man to score in five World Cups in Qatar last year.
