The 20 players with the most goals and assists in international football since 2000

Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal scoring for the Portuguese national side is just absurd.

The 37-year-old recently scored his 116th and 117th goal for A Selecao in their Nations League match against Switzerland.

He is the highest goal scorer in international football history and, after his brace against Switzerland, he extended his lead at the top of the standings to eight goals.

We all know how good he is at hitting the back of the net but, when assists are factored in, does he have the most goal contributions in international football since 2000?
