It was a magical night for Cristiano Ronaldo in Stockholm, Sweden last night, as the Portuguese striker scored two magnificent goals to push his career tally over the 100 mark for his country.

In Portugal’s 0-2 Nations League win over Sweden, Ronaldo starred as he tends to do for his native country. His first goal came just before halftime after he scored a free-kick goal from 28 meters out to give his team a 0-1 advantage.

This goal was the one hundredth of Ronaldo’s senior career with Portugal, who extended his career scoring mark over Pauleta’s 47.

Ronaldo then scored a second goal after halftime in the 72 minute mark, blasting an out-of-the-box spot into the top right corner, beating Sweden goalie Robin Olsen.

The ageless wonder’s 101st international goal put him just eight goals behind Iran’s Ali Daei for the top all-time men’s international goal scoring mark. At Ronaldo’s current pace, he’s nearly a sure thing to become the top goal scorer for his country over the next couple of years, at most.

The 35-year-old will now head back to Turin, Italy after two Nations League victories as he prepares for the upcoming 2020-21 season with his club team Juventus.

Monday night might have been a disappointment for the Portuguese national team after a 2-1 loss to Ukraine in European qualifying, but forward Cristiano Ronaldo had a special night that he will never forget.

Ronaldo scored his 700th career goal for club and country in the match after scoring a penalty past keeper Andriy Pyatov in the 72nd minute of the match. It was the only real moment to smile about for Portugal on a disappointing night in Kiev.

The Madeira native became only the sixth player in the history of the sport to notch 700 career goals. Gerd Muller, Ferenc Puskas, Pele, Romario, and Josef Bican are the only other players to have ever accomplished the feat.

The penalty kick was the 95th of Ronaldo’s career with his native country. His other 605 goals have come with his club teams, Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus.

The prolific Portuguese forward has scored his 700 goals in only 974 career games, giving him an average of 0.72 goals per match.

His longtime rival, Lionel Messi, is set to be the next player to reach the 700 goal mark. He has scored 672 goals in his career with Barcelona and Argentina and could reach the mark later this season.

It’s an incredible accomplishment that speaks to the quality of the career of one of the greatest soccer players in history.
