Portugal have never lost to Hungary in a senior men's international fixture - going through 16 matches without defeat - so naturally, Cristiano Ronaldo is also yet to come out on the wrong end of the scoreline against the Magyars.

The ex-Real Madrid and Manchester United man has prevailed in six and drawn two of his eight games against Hungary, while coming up with a stellar 12 goal contributions, nine of his own and three assists.

Six of Ronaldo's battles with Hungary have come in World Cup Qualifying, where he boasts a near-perfect record of five wins and one draw, and also seven goal involvements, netting five times and setting up his teammates twice.

The 40-year-old has also faced the Magyars twice at the European Championships, winning one and drawing one while claiming a fabulous four goals and one assist at the continental gathering.

Most recently, Ronaldo bagged a historic pair of goals in a 2-2 draw in October 2025, which saw the Portugal legend become the all-time leading scorer in World Cup qualifiers.

Ronaldo also netted from the penalty spot in a 3-2 beating of the Hungarians in a September 2025 World Cup qualifier, prior to which he struck a brace in a 3-0 group-stage win at Euro 2020.

The attacker also scored back-to-back doubles against Hungary between 2016 and 2017 - a brace and an assist in an enthralling 3-3 Euro 2016 draw, and two more in a 3-0 World Cup Qualifying win in March 2017.

Ronaldo's maiden meetings with Hungary came all the way back in 2009, when he was already donning the captain's armband at the age of 24, although he drew a blank in his first meeting as Pepe scored the winner in a 1-0 triumph.

However, Ronaldo had a say in a 3-0 victory for the Selecao in October 2009, providing the assist for a Simao goal shortly before coming off with an ankle injury.
