THIS IS HOW Cristiano Ronaldo gets to the FIFA World Cup 2026 and to 1000 goals 🇵🇹

Cristiano Ronaldo has made his intentions clear that he wants to score 1000 goals, and at 39-years-old and 901 goals in, not many would be betting against him.
Mark Schwarzer, Phil Kitromilides and Julien Laurens discuss how the Portugal icon has adjusted so far as he has begun to show signs of aging, and what has and hasn't worked for him within the Portuguese national team setup.

This French journalist still can't move on from the fact that Portugal won the euros in France😂😂

[random-J]

He started against Croatia and scored. Mention that too

[leoparth_]

Messi fans are trying their best to ridicule Ronaldo but they can't do sh*t

[Ux_change]

"The dogs bark but the caravan goes on." portuguese saying.

[blasters]

Portugal played better in first half against Scotland is a joke😵‍💫

[FCCOLLEGEYT]

Will be nice to see CR7 play in the 2026 FIFA World CUP!

[fiifiappiah]

Julien says the performance dropped massively when Ronaldo came on in the second half, yet they scored all the two goals with him on the pitch

[random-J]

Messi fans doing punditry are annoying never fair. As long as Ronaldo's scoring people should shut up and say nothing .

[xolanithusini]

I don't understand why these people who don't play soccer but have alot to say about soccer and about a player who is the best in the world

[hopelove]

You can see who is from ESPN FC hahahaha, they just don't like CR7 there, but he keeps proving them wrong

[nikhilagarwal]

What bullshit from the guy on the left. Portugal stepped up after HT vs Scotland. What game was he watching😂

[Faisaltm]

But who perform well last euro? Apart from Spanish players
Mbappe, Lewandowski, Lukaku, Dusan Vlahovic, Foden and even Kane wasn’t that good, it wasn’t only Ronaldo

[solomonofem]

What is wrong with these guys? What's the use of playing well when you don't score goals? That's what happened at the first half of that Scotland game. They had lots of chances but nobody to put it in until CR7 came in.

[daviddesousa]

They did not play better without him against Scotland

[sinister]

“They play better without him, but they need him to score goals”

[AnimeKingBoysYT]

bruh the only few ways it doesn't happen is if he retires earlier than expected or injuries or death 🤣

[Roy_cain]

A lot of haters out there for Cristiano, IO dont know if you are taking of the same match I watched. Rafael Leah and colleagues played quite well but they could not score a single goal. Do you know why, because they still lack that something. When Cr7 came in, he changed the dynamics of the game and moiunted pressure on opponents. Sports doen not lie ok, its the performance that matter. Cristiano do not want to be a sub but he is quite understanding just the Scotland match. The coach just needs to be his job in a respecful manner and not repeat what his predecessor did to him at the world cup. He deserves that respect and I think he is quite reasonable enough to know he is not that yooung any more and Ronberto understands that very well and knows how to manage him. He will take his retirement after the world cup. He deserves a big stage to bow out of the game

[troyjeup]

They flip flopped formations at euros. Never ran 4-4-2 like they did in qualifiers. What a shocker they went back to 442 this past 2 games

[ummsamjones]

King Ronaldo 👑 even off the bench is a matchwinner 😎

How many international fans support Ronaldo
