He won it 5 times, 4 with Real Madrid and 1 with Manchester United. The footballer is also the competition’s topscorer with 140 goals.
The 38 year old who now plays for Al Nassr however has not enjoyed the same on the international stage. In what appeared to be his last World Cup, Ronaldo’s Portugal got eliminated by Morocco in the quarter finals.
Having become the first footballer to score in 5 World Cup tournaments, the former Madrid superstar however is yet to record a goal or assist in the WC knockout stages.
The 2022 World Cup ended up being won by his rival Lionel Messi who was unstoppable as he scored in every stage of the tournament. The Argentine without a doubt cemented his place at the top of the game as the GOAT.
