- Cristiano is chasing an unprecedented 1,000 official competitive goals — by my count he’s at about 973 (club totals: Sporting, Man United, Real Madrid, Juventus, Al Nassr; plus 143 for Portugal).
- He was held scoreless in Portugal’s World Cup opener vs DR Congo (three shots) and has a chance to bounce back on June 23 against Uzbekistan.
- Despite a legendary career, his World Cup record is mixed: he’s the first man to score in five different World Cups and has eight World Cup goals (including a 2018 hat trick vs Spain), but he isn’t among the tournament’s all-time top scorers.
