Cristiano Ronaldo had a not very successful tournament with the Portuguese team in the 2022 World Cup. However, he is gradually regaining his form after returning from Al Nassr.

Currently, he is still the greatest striker at the national team level in the world. And with two goals scored against Liechtenstein, his record is even harder to break.

Who is the top scorer at the national team level?

Cristiano Ronaldo is the holder of this record. He has a total of 122 goals after 198 appearances for the Portuguese team.

The 37-year-old star has surpassed Ali Daei’s achievements. The legend of Iranian football scored 109 goals for the Middle Eastern team. However, he retired from his career in 2006 with 148 matches for Iran.

In the national team bomb rankings, Lionel Messi is the only name that can catch up with Cristiano Ronaldo at the present time. The new world champion has 99 goals in 173 appearances for Argentina.

Even if both of them play until they are 40 years old, it will be difficult for Lionel Messi to catch up with Cristiano Ronaldo, especially when the Argentine star’s role is not that of a true goalscorer.
