MAPPED: Cristiano Ronaldo is international soccer's greatest ever male goalscorer. Take a look at every one of his 111 record-breaking goals.

Competition: UEFA Euro 2004

Ronaldo had made just seven appearances, most of which were as a substitute, for Portugal before he was called up for Euro 2004.

But it didn't take him long to make an impact on the big stage, with the teenager coming off the bench to head home his first international goal in a 2-1 defeat to Greece in the tournament's opening game.

The result foreshadowed one of the biggest upsets in soccer history, with Greece going on to beat Portugal again in the final.

Regardless of the result, it was a landmark night for Ronaldo, and soccer as a whole.

Competition: 2006 FIFA World Cup 

After finishing World Cup qualifying as his country's second top-scorer, Ronaldo arrived at his first World Cup in Germany and immediately made a name for himself.

His first ever World Cup goal came in Portugal's second fixture against Iran.

Despite Portuguese legends Luis Figo and Deco being on the pitch, Ronaldo stepped up to take a penalty won by Figo and finished it in emphatic style, rifling it into the top left corner.

At 21 years and 132 days old, Ronaldo became the youngest Portuguese player to score at a World Cup.

Type of goal: Right-foot

Competition: 2010 FIFA World Cup

Ronaldo hadn't scored a competitive international goal for Portugal in almost two years going into the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

After drawing a blank against the Ivory Coast in the opening game, it looked as if he was going to again be unable to find the net against North Korea.

However, his luck changed in comical fashion in the 87th minute when, after a challenge with Korea's keeper, the ball somehow ended up balancing on his back before falling into his path with just an empty net in front of him.

"I knew the goal would come eventually," Ronaldo said after the match. "I didn't feel under pressure about it.

"I smiled when I scored because it was a funny goal, the way it hit me on the neck." 

The game finished 7-0 to Portugal, and caused great embarrassment in North Korea.

After North Korea drew 1-1 in its opening game of the tournament, the country's government decided to show the Portugal match live — the first time any international game had ever been broadcast live in the country.

Drawn into a 'group of death' including the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark, Portugal headed into its final game knowing it needed a win if it wanted to reach the quarterfinals.

However, when Rafael van der Vaart's curled finish put the Netherlands 1-0 up in the 11th minute, Portugal's chances took a big hit.

Up stepped Ronaldo.

He latched onto the end of an impeccably placed through ball from João Pereira before finishing past Michel Vorm to level the game.

16 minutes from time he repeated the trick. This time Portugal hit the Netherlands on the break with Nani bursting down the right wing.

The Manchester United winger's pass met Ronaldo, who cut back before rifling the ball into the net to win the game and secure qualification for the next round.

Competition: 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying 

Portugal was on course for a shock defeat at the hands of Northern Ireland in 2014 World Cup qualifying when Ronaldo decided it would be a good time to score his first international hat-trick.

Trailing 2-1 in the 67th minute, the Portuguese superstar levelled the scores with a trademark header from Joao Moutinho's corner.

20 minutes later, he headed home again to put Portugal in the lead, before he drove home a low free-kick late on to secure victory. 

It was the first of (as of September 2021) nine hat-tricks for his country.

Portugal versus Sweden was billed as the battle of two of the sport's biggest characters. Ronaldo's Portugal against Zlatan Ibrahimovic's Sweden with the winner earning a place in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Despite giving his country a 1-0 lead in the first leg, Ronaldo headed to Solna, Sweden knowing the tie was far from over.

The match lived up to its billing, finishing 3-2 with all five goals coming from either Ronaldo or Ibrahimovic.

The Portuguese scored first before the Swede hit two to pull the aggregate score level but Ronaldo was to have the last laugh.

Two goals within two minutes sent Portugal to Brazil and Ronaldo also equaled Pauelta's record for most goals for Portugal.

In 2016, Ronaldo came up against his club teammate Gareth Bale with both hoping to be the man to send their country to the Euro final.

In the end, it was Portugal who were victorious, reaching only the second European Championship final in its history.

Ronaldo opened the scoring with a magnificent header in which he seemed to float in the sky before firing the ball goalwards. Three minutes later, Nani scored to put the result beyond doubt.

Ronaldo also equaled Michel Platini's record of nine European Championship goals.

Portugal would go on to win Euro 2016, beating hosts France 1-0 in the final thanks to an extra-time goal from Eder.

Ronaldo's 48th career hat-trick and fifth for Portugal saw him surpass Brazil legend Pele in the all-time international scoring charts.

Pele, who scored 77 goals for Brazil between 1957 and 1971, congratulated Ronaldo on the achievement and also urged him to go on and break his own (very contentious) career goalscoring record.

"Of course, these are different times, but the beautiful thing about football is the goals. And I take this opportunity to send a big greeting to Cristiano Ronaldo for that victory," he told Goal.

"Now he has to score more than 1,283 goals!"

Pele ACTUALLY scored 757 goals during his career, a total Ronaldo went on to beat earlier this year.

Type of goal: Penalty, left-foot, free-kick

Competition: FIFA 2018 World Cup

Having become Portugal's youngest player to score at a World Cup in 2006, 12 years later and he became the oldest player to ever score a World Cup hat-trick. 

Facing Spain in Russia, Ronaldo's first came from the spot via a penalty he won himself. The second was a hopeful hit that should have been saved by Spanish keeper David De Gea, but the United shot-stopper spilled it into the net.

The third to seal the hat-trick was a trademark free kick. From just outside the box, he curled the ball over the wall and into the top right corner of the goal, giving De Gea zero chance of reaching it.

The game ended at 3-3 and was probably the game of the tournament.

After cruising through the group stages, Portugal faced Switzerland in the semifinals, where Ronaldo hit a sublime hat-trick to book his country's place in the final. 

Portugal went on to the beat the Netherlands in the final and claim its second ever international trophy — in no short part, thanks to Ronaldo.

It may have been part of a 2-1 loss, but when Ronaldo scored against Ukraine in the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers, he joined an elite list of players to have scored 700 goals for club and country.

Ronaldo is one of just six players in the history of the sport to have achieved this feat and one of two alongside Lionel Messi to still be playing.

Ronaldo became only the second player in soccer history to score a century of international goals when he hit a brace against Sweden in the 2020/21 UEFA Nations League.

The milestone goal came just before half-time following a foul just outside the Sweden penalty area, which presented Ronaldo with the opportunity to step up and fire an unstoppable free-kick into the top corner.

"I managed to beat this milestone of 100 goals and now [I'll go] for the record," the then-Juventus star said after the match.

"It's step-by-step. I am not obsessed because I believe the records come in a natural way."

Like Messi, one of the most impressive achievements of Ronaldo's career is his sheer longevity.

In 2021, he became the first player to score at five different European championships and also extended his run of goals in consecutive major tournaments to 11.

In his country's opening game of the tournament, Ronaldo scored twice including one from the spot and a left-foot finish to cap off a slick passing move between himself and Rafa Silva in the 92nd minute.

Despite going out in the round of 16 to Belgium, Ronaldo would end as the tournament's top scorer on five goals alongside the Czech Republic's Patrik Schick.

Just days after completing a surprise return to Manchester United, Ronaldo become the highest international goalscorer of all-time.

And he couldn't have done it in more fitting fashion, nodding home two hallmark headers in the final moments to hand Portugal a dramatic 2-1 victory over the Republic of Ireland.

His first was his 110th goal for his country, moving him one past the 109 Ali Daei hit for Iran between 1993 and 2006.

After breaking Daei's record, Ronaldo said: "I'm not closing the count just yet."
