Ronaldo scored two penalties in the 2-2 draw with France at Euro 2020 on Wednesday evening, which puts him level with Daei on 109 international goals.
Ronaldo now has the chance to break that record in Portugal’s last-16 clash against Belgium on Sunday evening.
And after seeing his record equalled, Daei, who scored 109 goals in 149 games for Iran, praised Ronaldo for his achievement.
The legendary Ali Daei bagged 109 goals in 149 games for Iran
“Congratulations to Cristiano who is now one goal away from breaking the men’s international goal scoring record.
“I am honoured that this remarkable achievement will belong to Ronaldo – great champion of football and caring humanist who inspires and impacts lives throughout the world. Vamos!”
Earlier this year, Ronaldo broke Pele’s record for the total number of goals in his career after scoring a hat-trick in Juventus’ 3-1 win over Cagliari in Serie A to move him past Pele’s unverified total of 767 goals.
