Cristiano Ronaldo alcançou mais um recorde nesta terça-feira (14/10). O craque português marcou dois gols no empate de Portugal com a Hungria e alcançou uma marca impressionante. Aos 40 anos, o atacante se isolou como o maior artilheiro das Eliminatórias da Copa do Mundo. Ele alcançou a marca de 40 gols na competição e ultrapassou Carlos Ruiz da Guatemala.
O jogo terminou empatado em 2 a 2. Mesmo assim o destaque ficou todo com o capitão da seleção portuguesa. Ele mostrou mais uma vez que continua decisivo mesmo após duas décadas atuando no mais alto nível do futebol mundial.
Portugal começou atrás no placar mas logo reagiu. Aos 22 minutos do primeiro tempo, Cristiano Ronaldo completou um cruzamento rasteiro de Semedo e empatou a partida. Pouco depois, Nuno Mendes fez novo cruzamento e o camisa 7 virou o jogo com uma finalização precisa. Nos acréscimos Szoboszlai empatou novamente para a Hungria.
Apesar do resultado o feito individual de Cristiano chamou a atenção da imprensa e dos torcedores. Ele marcou 40 gols em 51 partidas pelas Eliminatórias. Assim ultrapassou Carlos Ruiz que havia feito 39 gols em 47 jogos pela Guatemala e mantinha o recorde há mais de uma década.
Recorde histórico e legado que cresce a cada partida
Com esse novo recorde Cristiano Ronaldo reforça seu status como um dos maiores artilheiros da história do futebol. Agora ele soma 948 gols oficiais na carreira e 142 deles pela seleção portuguesa. Dessa forma ele segue como o maior goleador de seleções em todos os tempos.
Além disso Cristiano busca jogar sua sexta Copa do Mundo em 2026 o que seria outro feito histórico. Ele já participou dos Mundiais de 2006 2010 2014 2018 e 2022. Mesmo aos 40 anos segue como peça essencial no esquema do técnico Roberto Martínez.
Maiores artilheiros das Eliminatórias da Copa
Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) – 40 gols em 51 jogos
Carlos Ruiz (Guatemala) – 39 gols em 47 jogos
Lionel Messi (Argentina) – 36 gols em 72 jogos
Ali Daei (Irã) – 35 gols em 47 jogos
Robert Lewandowski (Polônia) – 33 gols em 42 jogos
Esses números mostram a eficiência do atacante português. Sua média é próxima de 0,8 gol por jogo nas Eliminatórias. Isso o torna o mais regular entre os grandes nomes da lista.
Contagem regressiva para o milésimo gol
Cristiano Ronaldo também vive outra corrida importante. O português chegou a 948 gols oficiais e sonha em atingir o milésimo ainda em atividade. Desde 2023 ele balançou as redes 107 vezes em 114 partidas pelo Al-Nassr e mantém uma média superior a 0,9 gol por jogo.
Se continuar nesse ritmo ele precisará de cerca de 57 partidas para alcançar o milésimo. Considerando as Eliminatórias os jogos de clubes e a próxima Copa o objetivo parece possível.
Portugal mantém liderança e já pensa no próximo desafio
Com o empate a seleção portuguesa segue na liderança do Grupo F das Eliminatórias europeias com 10 pontos em quatro rodadas. O próximo compromisso será no dia 13 de novembro contra a Irlanda fora de casa. Já a Hungria enfrentará a Armênia buscando se manter na zona de classificação.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the most dominant team of the decade, and the numbers prove it
The Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees are like the rock stars of Major League Baseball (MLB), two teams with a history so big it's hard to top. Since moving from Brooklyn to LA in 1958, the Dodgers have been a force to reckon with, and now in 2025, they're gearing up for their 23rd World Series (26th pennants)-trailing only the Yankees' whopping 41 appearances, according to MLB.com. That's a pretty cool stat, showing they've been in the game for the long haul, racking up eight World Series wins, with their first coming back in 1955 as the Brooklyn Dodgers. Tonight, they're bringing that old-school vibe into a modern era, hitting their fifth World Series in the last nine years-all during the Wild Card era that kicked off in 1994, per ESPN. It's a sign they know how […]
4 Takeaways From the Dodgers’ NLCS Game 4 Win Over the Brewers
Another dominant pitching performance – and a three home run game – by the same superstar no less. That's certainly a way to earn a World Series berth. Behind a Shohei Ohtani performance for the ages, the Dodgers swept the Brewers in the National League Championship Series on Friday with a 5-1 win in Game 4 and are headed back to the World Series. Here are my takeaways:1. Oh My, Ohtani!A year ago, he became the first Major League Baseball player ever to hit 50 homers and steal 50 bases in a season. This year, he became the first player ever to hit 50 homers and record 50 strikeouts as a pitcher in a single season. With Shohei Ohtani, history is never far away. Friday night was no exception, as baseball’s unicorn illustrated what is quite possibly the most extraordinary single-game performance of […]

MLB playoffs 2025: John Schneider says Mariners fans ‘should take a look in the mirror’ after George Springer boos
A 95-mph sinker from Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo struck George Springer on his knee in the seventh inning of the Toronto Blue Jays' 6-2 defeat in Game 5 of the ALCS on Friday. Springer suffered a right-knee contusion, according to Blue Jays manager John Schneider, though Schneider noted that the four-time All-Star's X-rays were negative."George is about as tough as they come," Schneider said. "I think he'll have to really, really be hurting to not be in the lineup on Sunday. So we'll see how he is."AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSchneider then called out Mariners fans who booed after Springer rose to his feet and tried to stay in the game. Springer walked to first with a significant limp before Joey Loperfido ultimately replaced him as a pinch runner."I know this is an awesome atmosphere to play in. And it's really, really cool […]
