Cristiano Ronaldo’s World Cup Record Sparks Debate as Portugal Star Reaches Historic Milestone

By IANS News June 24, 2026 • 21:29 PM View: 1357

Cristiano Ronaldo made a strong comeback from the poor start in the FIFA World Cup 2026 and scored two crucial goals against Uzbekistan. The Portugal captain made history by becoming the first player to score in six different FIFA World Cups when he found the net against Uzbekistan at the 2026 tournament.

While many celebrated the remarkable milestone, others were quick to dismiss it, arguing that the goal came against a lower-ranked opponent.
