He's only gone and done it. Cristiano Ronaldo has now scored more international goals than any other European player in the history of football, overtaking Ferenc Puskás' 62-year-old record of 85 goals.
It took the Portugal captain just four minutes to enter the history books.
The Real Madrid forward managed to wrong foot the Morocco defender, getting on the end of a drilled cross in typical Ronaldo fashion to give his side the lead.
Ronaldo, complete with new goatee, wheeled away in celebration as the crowd went wild.
