On 5 March 2014, he netted twice in Portugal's 5–1 friendly win over Cameroon to take his tally to 49 goals, thus becoming his country's all-time leading goalscorer, surpassing the 47 set by Pauleta.[1] On 14 November 2014, he scored the only goal in a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying match against Armenia, his 23rd in European Championship matches. This surpassed the record previously held by Turkey's Hakan Şükür and Denmark's Jon Dahl Tomasson.[2] He has scored four international hat-tricks and one double brace.

At Euro 2016, Portugal won its first ever major trophy, defeating hosts France 1–0 after extra time, with the winning goal scored by Éder. Cristiano Ronaldo later lifted the trophy as his team's captain, and was also awarded the Silver Boot as one of the second-highest goalscorers of the tournament, with three goals and three assists; he was also named to the team of the tournament for the third time in his career. With this victory, Portugal won their first major tournament, while Ronaldo won his first trophy with his national team. He has total of 9 goals at European Championships and 3 at the World Cup.
