Cristiano Ronaldo recently played his 197th football game at the international level.
By doing so, he became the most capped player in men’s football history.
With 120 goals, he is only one of 2 players to score 100 or more and tops the charts.

Of course, at 38, he is in the twilight of his career.
But another milestone beckons.
If Ronaldo plays just 3 more matches, he will be the first man to play 200 internationals.

In women’s football, the most games played are 354 by Kristine Lilly.
With friendlies and qualifiers this year, expect that milestone to be reached pretty soon and it will be a big deal when it does take place.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo’s rival Lionel Messi is on 99 goals and has played 173 games.
