Cristiano Ronaldo, one of soccer’s most iconic players, has added yet another milestone to his remarkable career. The former Real Madrid star was presented with a Guinness World Record for most victories in men’s international soccer before Portugal’s Nations League quarterfinal match against Denmark at Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon.
At 40 years old, Ronaldo has been part of 132 victories for his national team since debuting in 2003—more than any other male player in history. This latest accolade further cements Ronaldo’s legendary status in the sport. However, his Guinness World Records achievements don’t stop there.
In addition to this new record, Ronaldo holds several other prestigious titles, including most goals scored in men’s international soccer matches, most men’s international caps, and the distinction of being the first player to score 100 UEFA Champions League goals. Not to mention, he also holds the record for having the most followers on Instagram, showcasing his global influence off the field as well.
While Ronaldo’s records in soccer are impressive, there are Guinness World Records for nearly every imaginable category, placing him in the company of some fascinating individuals with unique feats.
For example, Ronaldo shares the Guinness World Records stage with Ram Singh Chauhan from India, who holds the title for the longest mustache in the world. Chauhan’s mustache measures a staggering 4.29 meters—roughly the length of a car!
Another intriguing record holder is Englishman Paul Bunn, who achieved the title for the loudest burp, which reached an astonishing 109.9 decibels. This sound, comparable to the roar of a motorcycle, made Bunn’s burp officially the loudest ever recorded.
While these particular records might be beyond Ronaldo’s reach, there’s no doubt that the Portugal captain could claim more Guinness World Records before his illustrious soccer career comes to a close.
With a career marked by extraordinary achievements both on and off the field, Cristiano Ronaldo’s name will undoubtedly continue to make its mark in history, alongside some of the world’s most unique and fascinating record-holders.
