One more day, and yet another goalscoring record for Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese striker led A Selecao to their first win in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and he added one more record to his tally.
Today, CR7 became the highest-scoring European player of all time, if you consider goals scored with the player's national team. He was tied for that honor with Hungarian legend Ferenc Puskas, but his header today helped him break the tie.
