Cristiano Ronaldo created history as he became the first player to be named in six FIFA World Cup squads. However, it is expected that his arch-rival at the top, Lionel Messi, will soon join him, having played five FIFA World Cups, and could be named in Argentina’s Squad for the upcoming edition of the mega international event. Having played his first World Cup in 2006, Ronaldo has been an integral part of the Portugal team since then in the international tournament.
It has not been a great time for the winger at World Cups. In six editions, Ronaldo has managed to score eight goals at the FIFA World Cup, with his first goal coming in the 2006 edition. He scored four goals, including a hat-trick against Spain in the 2018 World Cup, while scoring a single goal each in 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2022.
