Cristiano Ronaldo once again wrote his name in the history of world football by becoming the first player to score in six World Cups. From his debut in Germany in 2006 to the 2026 World Cup in North America, the Portuguese star achieved an unprecedented feat that consolidates him as one of the great legends of the sport.
Twenty years after his first World Cup participation, Cristiano Ronaldo reached this milestone by demonstrating vigor, discipline and an extraordinary competitive level.
Throughout six consecutive editions, the Portuguese striker has been the protagonist and has left his scoring mark in each tournament, in addition to breaking records that seemed unattainable.
The historical mark was achieved with a goal against Uzbekistan. The score came in the 6th minute, when he opened the scoring with a right-footed shot against the left post, after a cross from João Cancelo, who won the baseline. The match corresponded to the second day of Group K of the 2026 World Cup.
With that goal, the Portuguese not only contributed to the performance of his team, but also sealed an unprecedented achievement in the history of the competition.
In this way, Cristiano Ronaldo became the only footballer to have scored in six consecutive World Cups and reaffirmed his legacy as one of the best players of all time. His career, full of records and memorable moments, now adds a chapter that will be inscribed in the history of football.
