NEW WORLD RECORD
Cristiano Ronaldo ties Rogério Ceni’s world record in number of appearances
Cristiano Ronaldo is about to set another very important record.
The King’s Cup final for Al Nassr vs Al Hilal on 31 May was the 1225th top-level macth of his career.
This is exactly how many matches Rogério Ceni, the current holder of the world record for the number of top-level matches, has in total for the club and the national team.
Here is a breakdown by competition for both.
Most likely, CR7 will set the new record in one of pre-Euro friendlies for Portugal.
