Ronaldo became the top scorer in qualifying history for the European Cup

Cristiano Ronaldo does not want to stop taking notes even though he is 34 years old. CR7 - Ronaldo's nickname - has just won the title scorer in qualifying history for the European Cup. Ronaldo did it by scoring a quatrick to help the Portugal national team win an extraordinary 5-1 victory over Lithuania at the Vilniaus LFF stadium on Wednesday (11/09/2019), early morning hrs.

According to Sportskeeda, on Wednesday (11/09/2019), four new goals allowed Ronaldo to accumulate 25 goals for the Portuguese national team in European Cup qualifiers. Ronaldo surpasses Robbie Keane's record with Ireland with 23 goals.

Keane, who didn't want the record to be beaten by Ronaldo, also begged Juventus players via Instagram. Keane asked Ronaldo to surrender the record he still has because the Portuguese national team player already has many extraordinary records.

However, Keane's hopes did not materialize because Ronaldo returned to breaking his record. Ronaldo opened his catch in the match against Lithuania in the seventh minute. After that, CR7 scored three goals in 61, 65 and 76 minutes.

The Portuguese national team's victory was then completed by William Carvalho's goal, which was created in minute 92. For his part, Lithuania could only respond with Vytautas Andriuskevicius's action in 28 minutes, consolidating the position of the Portugal national team in second place in Group B with a collection of eight points.

Ronaldo and his friends are five points behind Ukraine and comfortable at the top of Group B. Although they are five points ahead, Ukraine plays one more game than Portugal's new national team which has played four times. If you can win all remaining matches, the Portugal national team must be able to win the top ranking by Ukraine.
