    Record breaker! Cristiano Ronaldo broke the world record for goals scored in men's international football as he scored his 110th and 111th goals for Portugal in their 2-1 World Cup qualifying victory against the Republic of Ireland. He actually could have had 112 but saw his penalty kick saved denying him a hat-trick. Image Credit: Reuters

    Rising high... The 36-year-old attacker who has just re-signed for former club Man Utd scored two late headers to break and extend the record after seeing the penalty saved by Gavin Bazunu. Image Credit: AFP

    On the ball... The record had been held by Iran striker Ali Daei who scored 109 goals between 1993 and 2006. Ronaldo had equalled that record with a double against France at Euro 2020. Now, he has broken it. Image Credit: AFP

    A load lifted... The record had been on the superstar's mind during Euro 2020 - where he performed admirably scoring five goals to win the Golden Boot award - and there was never any doubt that he would go on to break it. Image Credit: AFP

    He said, "I'm so happy, not only because I beat the record, but for the special moment that we had. Two goals at the end of the game. I have to appreciate what the team did, we believed until the end. I'm so glad." Image Credit: AFP

    All-time great... This is the latest landmark to push the argument for the Portuguese to be considered an all-time great. He is already the top scorer in club football's top tournament, the European Cup/Champions League, a trophy he has won five times. Image Credit: Reuters
