“100 goals, that is the symbol of a dazzling phenomenon, a record like you. It is the milestone of a monster,” said former Portuguese international Deco in a video from the FIFA world association on Twitter.
Only the second male footballer with this brand
Ronaldo had scored two goals in Solna Portugal, Sweden, for a 2-0 Nations League win against Sweden and scored his 100th and 101st international goals. The 35-year-old Juventus Turin is only the second male footballer in the world to reach this mark.
“It was a pleasure to have been your teammate and you are the pride of all Portuguese,” said former teammate Nuno Gomes. Only the no longer active Ali Daei of Iran ranks ahead of the exceptional forward with 109 picks.
Ronaldo scored his first international goal 16 years ago in Portugal’s 2-1 loss to Greece. The five-time world footballer celebrated his extraordinary anniversary at the 165th international match of the European and Nations League champions.
“I am proud to be part of your story”
“Some players don’t even score 100 goals in their entire career. But those aren’t even goals for their clubs, they’re just goals for the national team. It’s crazy,” said Englishman Rio Ferdinand, Ronaldo’s former teammate at the Manchester United. . And he joked with the vain Portuguese: “Man of 100 goals, and you still don’t look as good as I do. Maybe you are seven out of 10.”
For former international Nani, Ronaldo’s career is “the story of the greatest of all time.” The 100 international goals are a fantastic feat. “I am very proud to be a part of his story,” the 33-year-old wrote on Twitter.
