Cristiano Ronaldo, now 41 years old, scored twice against Uzbekistan at the 2026 FIFA World Cup to become the first player in history to score in six different World Cup tournaments.

Six. As in 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022, and now 2026.

The record that nobody saw coming, except Ronaldo

Ronaldo first scored at a World Cup in Germany in 2006, when he was a 21-year-old with a flair for free kicks and a reputation still being built.

He also becomes only the second player, alongside Lionel Messi, to appear in six World Cup tournaments.
