On behalf of its first qualifying match for Euro 2024 and for Roberto Martinez’s first, Portugal received Liechtenstein. A banal event for a team far superior to its opponent.
However, the fivefold golden ball had an appointment with history. Capped 196 times, Cristiano Ronaldo could finally break a new record. That of the number of selections with his country co-owned by Bader Al-Mutawa and CR7. Holder for this meeting, Ronaldo was therefore able to obtain his 197th selection making him the most capped player on the planet in the international selection. He already holds the record for most goals with 120 goals following his double against Liechtenstein. Record held by Ali Daei with Iran with 109 goals at the time. The Portuguese virtuoso will never cease to amaze us with his ability to beat all the records that come his way.
