Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal in the 68th minute against Germany at Munich’s Allianz Arena not only secured a 2-1 victory for Portugal but also marked a historic moment for the 40-year-old superstar. This goal was his 137th international strike, making him Portugal’s all-time leading scorer and the oldest player to score against Germany, breaking a five-match losing streak against the German side.

The match saw Germany take the lead early in the second half through Florian Wirtz’s header, but Portugal’s resilience shone through with Francisco Conceição’s stunning solo goal leveling the score. Ronaldo then capitalized on a low cross from Nuno Mendes to clinch the win, demonstrating his clinical finishing and leadership under pressure.

At club level, Ronaldo continues to rewrite history with Al-Nassr. His 35 goals in the 2023-24 Saudi Pro League season set a new record for the most goals scored in a single season, surpassing the previous mark of 34 goals by Abderrazak Hamdallah. This achievement, accomplished in just 31 matches, reflects Ronaldo’s unmatched scoring efficiency.

In November 2024, Ronaldo became the first footballer to score against 200 different opponents, a milestone that underscores his longevity and versatility across multiple leagues and international competitions[Original article]. His six hat-tricks for Al-Nassr add to a career total of 66, the highest among active players, highlighting his ability to dominate games single-handedly.

Ronaldo’s unique accomplishment of winning the top scorer award in four different top-flight leagues—Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and Saudi Pro League—sets him apart in football history. His 99 goals for Al-Nassr make him the highest-scoring European in the club’s history and place him fifth overall in all-time club scorers.

Portugal’s victory over Germany propels them into the Nations League final against either Spain or France, with Ronaldo’s experience and goal-scoring prowess central to their ambitions.
