Ronaldo celebrates caps record with Portugal winner

Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo has always relished a special occasion in his career.

The veteran was on the field for his nation against Iceland, making his 200th appearance for his country.

The Al-Nassr forward was given a Guinness World Records certificate, as he is now the male player with the most caps.

Ronaldo went past the mark set by Bader Al-Mutawa, who had 196 caps for Kuwait.

Ronaldo scored the winner for Portugal in the 89th minute against Iceland, helping them to three valuable European Championships qualifying points.

Ronaldo may not be playing club football in Europe anymore, but he is still invaluable to his nation.
