Remarkable Cristiano Ronaldo vs Xavi stat surfaces after Real Madrid legend’s brace | OneFootball

A staggering statistic, highlighting the historic longevity of former Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, has come to the fore on Friday.

This comes owing to his latest exploits on the international front.

Portugal marked their return to action a short time ago, welcoming Poland to the The Estádio do Dragão, for a Nations League clash.

When all was said and done, Roberto Martínez’s hosts emerged dominant victors, by five goals to one.

And the aforementioned Ronaldo played a leading role, featuring from the off, before chipping in with a brace as well as an assist.

His latest exploits in front of goal saw the veteran frontman take his tally for Portugal to a frankly eye-watering total of 135.

And as much, as alluded to above, has since given rise to the most remarkable of statistics.

As per statisticians StatMuse, Ronaldo has now scored more goals on the international stage than Barcelona legend Xavi Hernández managed appearances for Spain.
