Prolific Ronaldo in line to break more records

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 109th goal for Portugal in Wednesday's Euro 2020 game against France to equal former Iran striker Ali Daei's all-time international record.

The 36-year-old Ronaldo, the leading scorer in European Championship history, converted his second penalty of the game in Budapest to match the record in his 178th international appearance.

Ronaldo has already broken a few records playing at the Euro 2020. He became the only player to have played at five Euros and has also scored in every Euro he has taken part in, making him the only player to score in five different Euros. Ronaldo was tied with Michel Platini on nine Euro goals as the highest goalscorer in the tournament. He took that record for himself, having scored five goals already in three games. He now has 14 goals to his name and is well clear of Platini.

At 36 years, 130 days, Ronaldo also became the oldest player to score for Portugal at a major tournament, breaking the record set by Pepe at World Cup 2018 (35 years, 124 days), when he scored against Hungary.

But that's not the end. The superstar is in line to create a few more records during the course of the tournament, with Portugal expected to go deep into the competition.

It is highly probable that Ronaldo will surpass Iran's Ali Daei and become the player with most international goals. Having already equalled Daei's record of 109 international goals, Ronaldo could overtake him when Portugal face Belgium next in the last 16 of Euro on June 28.

The prolific scorer could also become the player with most assists in Euros. Currently, the record for the most assists made in Euros belongs to Karel Poborsky who is on eight assists. However, Ronaldo is only one away with seven assists.

In terms of caps, Sergio Ramos has 180 caps for Spain and is the highest-capped European international. Ronaldo has 178 caps after the France match and if Portugal progress to the semifinal, he will have broken Ramos' record.
