World Cup 2018: 5 players with most goals for their respective nations

#1. Cristiano Ronaldo - Portugal (81 goals)

Ronaldo will be looking forward to adding the World Cup trophy to his Euro 2016 triumph

Many world-class players will feature in the FIFA World Cup this year. Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the amazing attackers that will light up the tournament when it kicks off in Russia.

The Real Madrid forward will be hoping to transfer his amazing form to the national team, after leading his club to a third consecutive Champions League triumph. His 41 goals and 8 assists in 40 appearances for Real Madrid also mean that he was one of the most impressive sharpshooters in Europe during the campaign.

Ronaldo led his nation to glory in the Euros in 2016 and he will be looking forward to reaching similar heights in the World Cup this year. The Portuguese is currently the all-time top scorer of his nation, recording an amazing 81 goals to his name. He achieved this in just 149 appearances.

Following his disappointing outing in the last edition of the tournament in which he could only manage a goal, the Portuguese will be hoping for a better performance in the competition this time around.
