Cristiano Ronaldo turned 41 this past February. He is also, as of June 23, 2026, the all-time leading World Cup scorer in Portuguese history.
Ronaldo netted twice against Uzbekistan at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, pushing his career tournament total to 10 goals and surpassing the record previously held by Eusébio. Ronaldo is now the only player ever to score in six consecutive World Cups, spanning from 2006 all the way through 2026.
The crypto shadow that follows the GOAT debate
Back in 2022, Ronaldo signed a multi-year partnership with Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume. The deal produced several CR7 NFT collections, with individual items priced anywhere from $77 to $10,000 at launch.
In 2023, a class-action lawsuit named both Ronaldo and Binance as defendants, alleging misleading promotional claims tied to the digital collectibles.
