CRISTIANO RONALDO saw another individual record tumble after his early goal against Germany.
The Juventus superstar is now the joint-top European scorer in World Cups and European Championships after he scored Portugal’s opening goal in a 4-2 defeat to Germany.
That took him level with Germany legend Miroslav Klose on 19 – and one ahead of the iconic Gerd Muller.
Ronaldo has one more game to beat the record and that is against France on Wednesday.
The 36-year-old’s double in Portugal’s 3-0 opening game win against Hungary had already made him the Euros’ all-time record-scorer.
Ronaldo bagged an 87th-minute penalty and a glorious stoppage-time clincher to total 11 strikes in European Championship tournaments, two more than French midfield magician Michel Platini.
His international goal tally now sits at a staggering 107 goals.
That leaves CR7 just two goals shy of Iranian striker Ali Daei’s all-time international goalscoring record.
That Hungary game saw him break SIX records.
He is the first player to play at five different Euros, the oldest player to score for Portugal at a major tournament, the first player to score at five Euro tournaments.

Portugal’s 4-2 loss to Germany makes for an exciting final round of fixtures in Group F.
All four teams are still in with a shot of qualifying for the last-16.
