How many goals did Cristiano Ronaldo score today? Full stats, results, highlights from Portugal vs. DR Congo originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
In the never-ending comparisons between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the Argentine legend got a chance to fire the first salvo at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Messi played on Tuesday night and scored a hat trick for Argentina. That brings the World Cup schedule to Wednesday, when Ronaldo and Portugal open their tournament against the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Ronaldo surely was paying attention to what Messi did. And while it's a bit of a joke on social media, it also might be very real: Ronaldo will likely look to shoot early and often against DR Congo.
Messi scored three, and both Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland scored two on Tuesday. Ronaldo won't want to be left out.
Below, we'll keep track of what Ronaldo achieves on Wednesday in the group stage opener. He is starting, and although he might not go the distance, he should have ample opportunity to score.
