Cristiano Ronaldo has reached another milestone in his professional career by playing his 200th match for the Portuguese National Team in the temporary draw against Iceland at Laugardalsvöllur Stadium in the capital city of Reykjavik, in the Euro 2024 qualifiers.

The current Al-Nassr forward, aged 38, was honored just before the match, as he was presented with a certificate commemorating the record and a framed national team jersey with the number 200.

Cristiano's journey with the Portuguese national team began 20 years ago when, at the age of 18, he was called up by Luiz Felipe Scolari for a friendly against Kazakhstan in August 2003.

Having played for clubs such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, Cristiano has represented his country in five World Cups and five European Championships, winning the title in France in 2016. He has also become the all-time leading scorer in the history of national teams, with a total of 122 goals to date.

What lies ahead for him?

Despite nearing the end of his career, Cristiano remains a crucial figure for Portugal and has made it clear that he is not yet thinking about retirement. He still has a contract with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, and he intends to fulfill it until the end.
