'I'm back' - record-breaking Ronaldo answers critics

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal against Ghana on November 24, 2022, becoming the first male footballer to score in five different World Cups. He achieved this feat during Portugal's opening match of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The goal came in the 65th minute via a penalty, which he converted to give Portugal a 3-2 lead. This historic goal followed a period where Ronaldo's form and place in the Manchester United squad had been questioned. His performance in this match, where he also became the oldest player to score for Portugal in a World Cup at 37 years and 363 days, served as a direct answer to his critics. The match ultimately ended with Portugal winning 3-2.
