Against which country has Ronaldo scored the most international goals?

The story behind the answer

Ronaldo has scored more international goals against Luxembourg than against any other country.

The matchup has been especially productive because Portugal and Luxembourg have frequently met in UEFA qualifying campaigns. Ronaldo’s first goal against Luxembourg came in November 2004 during qualification for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He later scored repeatedly in Euro and World Cup qualifying fixtures, including a hat-trick in Portugal’s 5–0 victory over Luxembourg in October 2021.

The total listed in the international-goals record is 11 goals against Luxembourg. Hungary is among the next-most frequent opponents on his scoring list, while Sweden, Andorra and Latvia have also conceded multiple goals to him but do not lead the ranking.

This question refers to goals for Portugal’s senior men’s national team, not goals scored for his clubs. It also counts goals across competitive matches and friendlies. Ronaldo’s international record is notable more broadly: he became the men’s leading international goalscorer and has scored in five different FIFA World Cup tournaments.
