Scoring at the football world cup is a dream but the Portugal GOAT has managed to take it even further by becoming the first player to score at 5 separate world cup finals.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored an opening goal for his country on penalty against Ghana and lead the team to win 3-2 in FIFA 2022 hosted by Qatar.
Only a few numbers of players get the chance to even play at 4 or 5 world cups, they either drop out or fail to qualify, or have an injury. The only 5 players who have played at 5 different world cups are:
- Antonio Carbajal (Mexico) 1950, 1954, 1958, 1962, 1966
- Rafael Márquez (Mexico) 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018
