Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal made history at the ongoing Euro 2020.
The Portuguese captain broke the record when he scored his 10th goal in his fifth appearance at the tournament.
This makes him the leading men’s scorer in the Championship’s history.

The Juventus forward converted a penalty kick in the 85th minute to make it 2-0.
The 37-year-old added a second, rounding off a slick move to make it 3-0 in Budapest.

The all-time record is held by Christine Sinclair of Canada, with 186 goals.
