Cristiano Ronaldo Matches Klose Record With 19th Tournament Goal For Portugal

The Juventus superstar was on target once again in a meeting with Germany and no player has more efforts at World Cups and Euros combined.

Cristiano Ronaldo has another piece of history in his sights after matching the record of Germany legend Miroslav Klose when it comes to combined goals at World Cups and European Championships.

The Juventus superstar was back on target for Portugal in their latest outing at Euro 2020, with the first effort of his remarkable career recorded against Germany.

That strike was his 19th at the two major international tournaments, with no player boasting more.

How did Ronaldo match Klose?

Portugal had survived an early scare against Germany, with Robin Gosens seeing a well-taken goal ruled out as Serge Gnabry had strayed marginally offside.

Ronaldo wasted no time in making Joachim Low's side rue that misfortune as he raced away in the 15th minute to put the finishing touch to an impressive counter.

Diogo Jota displayed a notable unselfish streak to tee up the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, who was left with the simple task of tapping into an empty net.
