List of international goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo is a Portuguese professional footballer who has been representing the Portugal national football team as a forward since his debut on 23 August 2003 against Kazakhstan in a friendly.[1] He would later score his first international goal on 12 June 2004 during a UEFA Euro 2004 group stage match against Greece.[2] Since then, he has been the current all-time record goalscorer for the Portugal national team and the second overall men's international goalscorer in history having scored 99 goals in 164 appearances,[3] trailing only all-time record goalscorer Ali Daei by ten goals.[4]

Ronaldo celebrates after scoring a penalty against New Zealand at the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

On 6 September 2013, he scored his first international hat-trick against Northern Ireland during a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier.[5] He has scored nine international hat-tricks and on two occasions, four international goals in a single match. On 5 March 2014, he scored twice in Portugal's 5–1 friendly win over Cameroon to take his tally to 49 goals, thus becoming his country's all-time leading goalscorer, surpassing the 47 set by Pauleta.[6] On 14 November 2014, he scored the only goal in a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying match against Armenia, his 23rd goal in UEFA European Championship qualifying and finals matches, surpassing the record previously held by Turkey's Hakan Şükür and Denmark's Jon Dahl Tomasson.[7] On 20 June 2018, he scored his 85th goal for Portugal in a 1–0 win over Morocco at the World Cup, surpassing Hungary's Ferenc Puskás as the all-time top scorer for a European national team.[8] He has scored nine international hat-tricks and on two occasions, four international goals in a single match.[3]

Ronaldo has participated in ten major tournaments: four UEFA European Championships in 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016, four FIFA World Cups in 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018, one FIFA Confederations Cup in 2017, and one UEFA Nations League Finals in 2019, scoring in all of them.[3] Following Portugal's win at UEFA Euro 2016, Ronaldo lifted the trophy as his team's captain,[9] and was also awarded the Silver Boot as the joint second-highest goalscorer of the tournament, with three goals and three assists;[10] he was also named to the team of the tournament for the third time in his career.[11][12][13] He has scored nine goals at the European Championships, seven at the World Cup finals, three in the UEFA Nations League and two at the Confederations Cup.[3] Ronaldo has scored 30 goals in FIFA World Cup qualifiers, and 31 in UEFA Euro qualifiers, hence becoming the first player to score more than 50 goals in European qualifiers.[14] His other 17 goals have come in friendly matches. The opponent against whom he has scored most often is Lithuania with seven goals.[3] He has scored ten international goals at Estádio Algarve, his most at a single ground. On 14 November 2019, Ronaldo scored his ninth international hat-trick equaling the record previously set by Sven Rydell with Sweden.[15]
