BUDAPEST: Cristiano Ronaldo is just two goals away from drawing level with Iran's Ali Daei (109) in the all-time men's international leading goal-scorer's list. Despite Portugal slumping to a 2-4 defeat against Germany in its second game of EURO 2020 on Saturday, its skipper Cristiano Ronaldo's first half goal moved him closer to a personal milestone. The Portuguese captain is now just two goals away from drawing level with Iran's Ali Daei (109) in the all-time men's international leading goal-scorer's list.

Indian team captain Sunil Chhetri is now placed 12th on the all-time goal-scorer's list with 74 strikes. Messi, who has 73 goals in 145 matches, will be in action during the Copa America in Brazil. Agencies
