Story and significance
On October 14, 2019, Cristiano Ronaldo scored the 700th goal of his senior career as Portugal visited Ukraine in a UEFA Euro 2020 qualifier. The milestone arrived with Portugal two goals behind in Kyiv.
Ronaldo converted a 72nd-minute penalty, driving the ball into the top corner to reduce the deficit. Portugal continued to press, but Ukraine held on for a 2–1 victory and secured qualification.
The goal took Ronaldo to 95 for Portugal, alongside the goals he had accumulated with Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus. He became one of a small group credited with reaching 700 official senior goals.
