FIFA give Cristiano Ronaldo prize for being top international goalscorer

Cristiano Ronaldo also won a prize in The Best. FIFA wanted to recognise the fact that the Portuguese footballer is now the top international goalscorer. 

It was the latest prize to be given out, even after Robert Lewandowski won The Best. It is something FIFA do not usually do. 

FIFA wanted to reward the player for being the all time top goalscorer at the beginning of 2021 and then becoming the top international goalscorer after scoring against Ireland back in September. 

Cristiano Ronaldo became the player with the most number of goals FOR a national team. His brace against Ireland meant he went past Ali Daei's tally of 109 goals. 

This prize, awarded by FIFA to recognise Ronaldo's achievements with Portugal, was not the only one Cristiano Ronaldo received. He was also included in the best XI in the year which included a funny looking 3-3-4 formation.
