When Ronaldo received GWR certificate

Sports Brief earlier reported that Cristiano Ronaldo was delighted after receiving the Guinness World Records certificate for smashing the international goals record with his 111-goal tally.

The Portuguese sensation is now the all-time men's international top scorer, after netting a brace in Portugal's 2-1 win against Ireland in September 2021.

Ronaldo's record-breaking moment came in the 89th minute as he scored Portugal's equalizer, before he grabbed the winner in the 96th minute.
