Cristiano Ronaldo continues to defy age and football records after scoring twice in Portugal’s emphatic 5-0 victory over Armenia in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier.

The 40-year-old forward’s brace lifted his career tally to a staggering 942 goals for club and country, edging him closer to the mythical 1,000-goal milestone — a feat never officially achieved in modern football. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Ronaldo’s record now stands at 140 international goals and 942 career goals… and counting.

The match, played at the Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium in Yerevan, began with a minute’s silence in honour of former Portuguese star Jota, who earned 49 caps for the national team. Banners were also displayed across the stadium in tribute.

Portugal took control early, with João Félix opening the scoring in the 10th minute. Ronaldo doubled the lead after converting Pedro Neto’s cross, before João Cancelo made it 3-0 with a celebration mimicking Jota’s trademark video game gesture.

Ronaldo’s relentless scoring form at 40 years old continues to captivate the football world, as fans now eagerly watch his pursuit of the unprecedented 1,000-goal landmark.
