The Juventus superstar has reached so many new milestones in football that breaking records is almost like second-nature to him.
A week hasn’t even passed in 2021, but CR7 has already beaten Pele’s goal scoring record and is now only behind Bican and reached 250 Millions Followers on Instagram.
Here are Ronaldo’s Top 4 Guinness World Records.
The oldest player to score a World Cup hat-trick
The treble against Spain in Portugal’s World Cup opener was a special one even by Cristiano Ronaldo’s high standards.
He was under insane pressure heading into Russia. Many wrote Portugal off against pre-tournament favorites Spain. However, La Roja had another thing coming.
Ronaldo delivered arguably one of his finest performances to steal the show with a hat-trick in a thrilling 3-3 draw. It also saw him become the first Portuguese player in history to score in four consecutive World Cups.
At 33 years and 130 days, he also became the oldest treble World Cup scorer in the Guinness World Record books.
Most liked athlete on Facebook
Cristiano Ronaldo has no competition in the popularity department.
The Real Madrid legend has scaled heights that most of his peers can only dream about. Everyone wants to know more about him and like to keep tabs on his social media for updates.
As of the 5th of January 2020, Ronaldo’s Facebook has a staggering 146 million followers. He is the most popular football player on the social network platform.
Cristiano has held this record since 2016 and will probably keep it for many years to come.
Most viewed Wikipedia page of any male athlete
Wikipedia is a multilingual online encyclopedia that is used by millions of users around the world.
It’s a useful source of information collected by thousands of volunteer editors using a wiki-based editing system. You’ll be hard pushed to find better data on something elsewhere.
All the most famous sports stars have their own Wikipedia pages, which detail their backgrounds and careers. And unsurprisingly, the most visited one of all is Cristiano Ronaldo’s.
The Guinness World Record books revealed that over 48 trillion visitors viewed Ronaldo’s Wiki profile alone.
Consecutive UEFA Champions League games scored
Cristiano Ronaldo is the Champions League king – no arguments there.
The Portugal international has scored a record 134 goals in the competition, with Lionel Messi second on 118.
But Ronaldo’s exploits in Europe’s premier club competition have been stunning, to say the least.
He holds the Guinness World Record for most consecutive Champions League matches scored in following that remarkable 11-game run between the 2016/17 and 2017/18 campaigns.
