Cristiano Ronaldo: Portugal legend finally beats Germany

There aren't many things Cristiano Ronaldo hasn't done but beating Germany was one of them - until now.

When Ronaldo popped up with the winner in the Nations League semi-final in Munich, it extended his record goalscoring total - and ended a long wait.

It was the 40-year-old's 137th international goal in 220 caps, and his 937th strike in all football.

All three of those totals are men's records.

But until now Ronaldo had never experienced a worse record at international level against any other team.

He played Germany five times, losing all five - with Portugal last beating them at Euro 2000. But that is now five from six.

That means England take the record of the country Ronaldo has played the most times without beating - three (all draws). Although the biggest caveat in the world is needed here.

Portugal won two of the three 'draws' on penalties - the Euro 2004 and 2006 World Cup quarter-finals.
