Cristiano Ronaldo says World Cup record 'makes me very proud'

Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo spoke of his immense pride after becoming the first man to score at five World Cups in a 3-2 win over Ghana on Thursday.

The 37-year-old won and converted a penalty to open the scoring, although Ghana felt it was not a spot-kick and some pundits thought he dived.

"It was a beautiful moment. My fifth World Cup, we won. That was very important. The world record is something that makes me very proud," he told reporters.

Ronaldo is now without a club after parting ways with Manchester United this week following his criticism of the club in a television interview.

"This week we closed the chapter. The rest doesn't matter," he said.
