DBasia.news – Manchester United striker, Cristiano Ronaldo, continues to prove that he is still in the highest ranks of the best strikers in the world today. Most recently, Ronaldo created a new record with the Portugal national team.
Cristiano Ronaldo appeared as a starter when Portugal faced Luxembourg on matchday 8 of Group A of the 2022 World Cup qualification for the European zone, at the Estadio Algarve, Wednesday (13/10). CR7 was accompanied by Andre Silva and Bernardo Silva on the front lines.
The light of Cristiano Ronaldo was again seen in the match. Ronaldo scored twice on penalties (8′, 13), before finally sealing Portugal’s 5-0 win in the 87th minute. Meanwhile, two other goals were created by Bruno Fernandes (17′) and Joao Palhinha (69′).
Thanks to these three goals, Cristiano Ronaldo now holds the status as the top hat-trick scorer at the national team level. Ronaldo penetrated 10 hat-tricks.
Previously, Ronaldo equaled the record of the Swedish player, Sven Rydell who scored nine hat-tricks in the period 1923 to 1932. The former Juventus carved it when Portugal played Lithuania in 2019.

Now, Cristiano Ronaldo’s sharpness is expected to continue when he returns to Manchester United. From the first six games, Ronaldo scored five goals. Next, Ronaldo’s task is to break into Leicester City’s goal in the 2021-2022 Premier League match.
