Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo, known for his prolific goal-scoring ability and numerous career milestones, faces an interesting gap in his achievements: he has never scored a goal against Türkiye.
Despite amassing an impressive tally of 130 goals for his national team, Ronaldo is yet to find the net against Türkiye – a feat he aims to accomplish during Euro 2024.
Throughout his international career, Ronaldo has scored against 47 different countries, but Türkiye, Italy and England have proven to be exceptions.
His highest number of goals against any single opponent is 11, scored against Luxembourg, with seven goals each against Lithuania and Sweden.
