The boy is on a mission. Cristiano Ronaldo is on the verge of reaching his sixth World Cup with Portugal. But for that to happen, the Portuguese need to beat, among others, Hungary today.

However, things didn’t look like a win at home at first. Attila Szalai had put the visitors ahead after eight minutes. Luckily, Portugal has a 40-year-old striker in their ranks.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored the equalizer in the 22nd minute. But that’s not all:

With his 947th career goal, Ronaldo set a new qualifying record. As of today, he is the first player in the world to score 40 goals in World Cup qualification. Even a Lionel Messi (36) hasn’t managed that yet.

This guy is and remains insanely good.
