Cristiano Ronaldo breaks yet another record but remains far behind Lionel Messi

Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first player to make 200 appearances in men's international football, though he remains far behind Lionel Messi in terms of international records broken.

Ronaldo captained Portugal in their Euro 2024 qualifier against Iceland at Laugardalsvöllur, the Nordic country's national stadium. In doing so, he broke the 200 cap barrier for A Selecao, having made his debut back in August 2003.

The former Manchester United star had already become the world's most-capped men's international footballer, overtaking Kuwait's Bader Al-Mutawa back in March. Ronaldo has been handed a spot in the Guinness World Record Books for his latest achievement.
