Cristiano Ronaldo has created a legacy for himself as a goal scorer with almost 1,000 career goals. After a slow start in Portugal’s game against DR Congo, Ronaldo looked like his usual self, scoring two goals in Portugal’s game versus Uzbekistan. This made Ronaldo the first player to score in six FIFA World Cups. Check out Nick Ames article to learn more!
