The International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) has just announced a list of broken records in football in 2023. Among them, C. Ronaldo is the one who has achieved the most records with 4 times (out of a total of 23 records). His great rival Lionel Messi has only broken one record.
Let's take a look at the 4 records C.Ronaldo will break in 2023:
Player who scored in most Euro tournaments (including qualifiers)
In March, C. Ronaldo surpassed Jari Litmanen and Robbie Keane to become the player who has scored in the most Euro tournaments with 6 (including qualifying and finals). The Portuguese superstar has scored in all Euro tournaments since 2004.

Specifically, CR7 scored 31 goals in the qualifying rounds and 14 goals in the Euro finals. The tournament in which the Al Nassr striker played most prominently was Euro 2020 with 11 goals in the qualifying rounds and 5 goals in the finals.
Player with most international appearances
Also in March, C. Ronaldo surpassed Bader Al-Mutawa (Kuwait, 196 matches) to become the player who played the most matches for the national team. Up to this point, CR7 has played 205 matches for the Portuguese team. This number promises to be even higher when C. Ronaldo can participate in Euro 2024.
Top scorer in national championships
Football legend Ferenc Puskas once held the record of scoring 526 goals in national championships. However, his record was broken last August. Currently, CR7's achievement is 531 goals. At the age of 38, superstar number 7 continues to score goals. This striker has a great opportunity to become the player with the most goals in 2023 despite turning 38.

C. Ronaldo has surpassed Sergio Ramos to become the player with the most wins in Euro qualifiers (30 wins) after helping Portugal overcome Liechtenstein. Currently, CR7 has increased his record to 32 wins.
