Cristiano Ronaldo, the only football player who played 200 matches for the national team

On August 20, 2003, Cristiano Ronaldo made his debut as part of the Portuguese national football team.

Only an 18-year-old football player became an indispensable player of the Lusitanian national team, and almost 20 years later entered the record book.

Cristiano Ronaldo started Portugal’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Iceland in Reykjavik and set a record that is difficult to match.

The Portuguese became the footballer with the most selections for the national team, reaching the mark of 200 matches in the shirt of the national team of Portugal.

Cristiano Ronaldo has 122 goals for Portugal, with whom he won the European Championship in 2016 and the League of Nations in 2019.
