Cristiano Ronaldo is once again listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. The Portuguese Football Association announced on its official website on the 24th (Korea time) that `Ronaldo has become the player with the most A-match wins in football history.' Ronaldo played at home against Poland in November last year and led the team to a 5-1 victory. It was Ronaldo's 132nd victory in the national team uniform. It exceeded the record of 131 wins held by Spanish legend Sergio Ramos.
Ronaldo received an official Guinness record certificate ahead of the second leg of the European Nations League quarterfinals against Denmark on the 24th. The certificate was awarded by the president of the Portuguese Football Association.
This is not Ronaldo's first Guinness record. In September 2021, he scored 111 goals for the most A-match goals ever, making him the first Guinness World Records. In June 2023, he became the first male player to play in 200 A-match games, making his name in the Guinness Book of World Records again. He is back in the Guinness Book of World Records with 132 wins.
Ronaldo made his A-match debut in August 2003 when he was 18 years old through a friendly match against Kazakhstan. He already has 22 years of experience as a representative. Ronaldo has scored 136 goals in 219 A matches. This record alone is great, but the fact that it's still in progress is even greater. Ronaldo is close to scoring 1,000 goals in his career.
