Sixth World Cup appearance. At 41. A record that will probably never be broken. But for Ronaldo the stat isn't what matters: he's still missing the one thing even Messi has — a World Cup title. International all-time top scorer with 130+ goals, five Champions League titles, Ballon d'Or winner, Euro 2016 winner, Nations League winner. But never world champion. The 2026 World Cup is his last, ultimate chance.
