Ballons d'Or, Champions, titles of all colors.
And now also a place in the Guinness Book of Records.
Cristiano Ronaldo continues to cross out goals and write the great history of world football.
This week the Portuguese became the top scorer in history in national teams by scoring two goals, reaching 111
and surpassing the mark he shared with the Iranian Ali Daei
.
"Thanks to Guinness World Records. It always feels good to be recognized as a world record breaker. We are going to keep trying to increase these numbers even more!" CR7 posted on his social media along with a photo displaying the certificate.

With the Record in his hands, he turns the page and goes for more.
And he arrived in England ahead of schedule.
It is that on Wednesday, in Portugal's 2-1 win against Ireland, in which he scored his historic goals 110 and 111, he received a yellow card and must meet a suspension date.
Faced with this situation, the Portuguese federation allowed him to break free from the group for the next qualifying match, on Tuesday against Uzbekistan, and start his new adventure in Manchester.
For taking off his shirt in the celebration of the second goal, Cristiano was cautioned and misses the next Portugal game.

This will allow him to spend more time with his new teammates at United before what will almost certainly be his first comeback game, against Newcastle at Old Trafford on 11 September.
Upon arrival, CR7 received great news: he
will be able to wear his fetish number with which he shone for the club from 2003 to 2009
.
The Uruguayan Edinson Cavani was the owner of the jersey number 7, but the club managed to change the list and give the South American 21, the same one he has with his national team.

"As we all know, the 7 is a special number in United history," the team said.
"It has been worn by icons of the club such as George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona and David Beckham. Now, the one who replaced Beckham with the same one, Ronaldo, returns."
The English league prohibits a number from passing from one player to another with the contest already started, but because it is Ronaldo they made an exception.
