5 Cristiano Ronaldo feats that are in the Guinness World Records

#1 Most football (soccer) FIFA World Cup tournaments scored in by a player

Portugal v Spain: Group B - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia

Alhough Cristiano Ronaldo remains in pursuit of his first FIFA World Cup trophy, we can say that it has not been for lack of trying on his part.

Ronaldo has been an active part of his side's World Cup campaigns since his first appearance at the 2006 edition. They finished fourth that year, which was their second best performance ever at the main event.

Ronaldo had his best performance individually in the 2018 edition of the competition, but despite his four-goal haul he failed to carry them beyond the round of 16. He might've fallen short of landing the elusive trophy, but individually he has managed to get his name inscribed in the history books by becoming only the fourth player ever to score in four different editions of the tournament.

Ronaldo's total tally currently stands at seven goals.

The record reads:

The most FIFA World Cup tournaments scored in by a player is 4, first achieved by Uwe Seller (Germany) playing for West Germany in the 1958, 1962, 1966 and 1970 FIFA World Cup tournaments. This was equaled by Pelé (Brazil) playing for Brazil in the same four tournaments, and by Miroslav Klose (Germany) playing for Germany in the 2002, 2006, 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cup tournaments. This was again equaled by Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) playing for Portugal in the 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cup tournaments.
