Ronaldo's World Cup Journey Ends

Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup career has reached its end following Portugal's 1-0 loss to Spain in the round of 16 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The 41-year-old forward became the first player in history to score in six different World Cup tournaments, finding the net in every edition from 2006 to 2026. His 11 World Cup goals make him Portugal's all-time leading scorer in the tournament, while his 26 appearances represent the most by any Portuguese player.

Ronaldo also made history as the oldest player to score a brace and the oldest to score in a knockout match at 41 years old. His 20-year span between first and last World Cup goals, along with his 146 international goals for Portugal, further cement his legacy as one of football's greatest performers on the world stage. playerbros.org
