Cristiano Ronaldo is back with the Portugal national team -- and that means a fresh opportunity to hit more international milestones, of course.

The Real Madrid star netted a brace in a comfortable 3-0 win for Portugal over Hungary on Saturday and moved up the all-time international goal-scorer chart along the way.
