Cristiano Ronaldo reached another landmark in his glittering career on Saturday, scoring twice as Portugal thrashed Armenia 5-0 in their opening 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier.
The 40-year-old forward netted in both halves to take his tally to 140 international goals and 942 career strikes.
His first came in the 21st minute, diverting home Pedro Neto’s cross, before adding a stunning half-volley from 25 yards just after the restart.
Joao Felix had earlier opened the scoring with a header, while Joao Cancelo also found the net before half-time.
Felix capped the night with a spectacular scorpion flick to seal the win in Lisbon.
It was Portugal’s first outing since the passing of teammate Diogo Jota, and the team delivered a dominant performance in his memory.
Ronaldo, withdrawn shortly after the hour mark, had already ensured the occasion belonged to him with yet another record-setting display.
