Could Cristiano Ronaldo Shatter Unbelievable World Cup Records in 2026?
The Portugal captain already holds the record as the most-capped international player and, consequently, has won more international matches than anyone else. He’ll have a share of the most tournaments record either way but getting there first would be a bonus.
The oldest World Cup final goalscorer
The oldest player to score in a World Cup final and win was Messi against France in the final of World Cup 2022. The oldest World Cup final goalscorer of all is AC Milan icon Niels Liedholm, who scored for Sweden in a defeat by Brazil in the final in 1962.
Both Messi and Ronaldo are older than Niedholm, so a goal in the final for either would add yet another record to an already extensive list. Of course, if both were to score in the final then Ronaldo would hold the record.
