This graphic showcases some of the Portuguese star’s records based on UEFA data and other sources.

Top Scorer and Most Matches Played

Cristiano Ronaldo is the top goalscorer in the competition, with 55 goals across six Euros, far ahead of English striker Harry Kane (28) and Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku (27). Additionally, he holds the record for the most Euro matches in history, having played 70 as of June 21, 2024.

At age 39, Ronaldo could become the second player to win multiple European Championships as captain, joining Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who won in 2008 and 2012.

Beyond his on-field achievements, Ronaldo’s impact extends off the pitch. With $136 million in annual earnings, he is the highest-paid athlete in the world. His financial success is matched by his influence on social media, where he is the world’s top influencer with 919 million followers.

Chart: Which Countries Eat the Most Instant Noodles?

This was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.

The world collectively consumed 120 billion instant noodle servings in 2023. But which countries ate the most?

We visualize the country-level breakdown with estimated figures from the World Instant Noodles Association (WINA).

ℹ️ Established in March 1997, WINA collects and distributes data related to instant noodles for safe consumption and quality. Ranked: Countries by their Instant Noodle Consumption

Unsurprisingly, the now second-most populous country in the world, China, (along with Hong Kong SAR) ate about 42 billion instant noodle servings in 2023. This works out to about 30 noodle helpings per person in the year.

Staying in Asia, Indonesia (14.5 billion servings), India (8.7 billion), Vietnam (8.1 billion) and Japan (5.8 billion) make up the top five.

The U.S. is the top ranked country by instant noodle consumption (5.1 billion servings) from outside Asia. There are also only two non-Asian countries in the top 10, with the other being Nigeria (3 billion portions).

Russia is the top ranked European country for instant noodle consumption, 12th overall with 2.2 billion servings.

Noodle Preferences Around the World

There’s a large variety in instant noodle brands worldwide, catering to different populations’ specific cultural and dietary habits.

For example, given Indonesia’s largely Muslim population, most noodle products are halal.

On the other hand, vegetable and tomato-based soups are eaten the most in India due to its large vegetarian population.

Meanwhile, Vietnam prefers a shrimp-flavored broth along with pho rice noodles, which are popular in the country.

China growth worries have hit a big alcohol stock. Why some analysts see a buy opportunity

Prices of a prestigious Chinese alcohol brand are falling, stoking worries about economic growth. “Flying Fairy,” a 53% alcohol from Shanghai-listed Kweichow Moutai , saw wholesale prices drop by more than 5% in a week. Those prices are now down by more than 30% since a Sept. 2021 peak, Nomura analysts said in a research report, noting that during a boom in housing prices from 2015 to 2021, Flying Fairy’s wholesale prices surged by nearly 360%. Also known as “Feitian Moutai,” the brand of traditional Chinese baijiu liquor, made from red sorghum, is a status symbol used for government gifts and seen at high-level business deals and weddings. That’s also given older bottles collector’s value . It’s less clear whether a decline in an apparent proxy on Chinese wealth means the company itself will be significantly hit. Wide margins Morningstar senior equity analyst Jennifer Song pointed out that Kweichow Moutai has maintained wide profit margins and that it has “plenty of room” to raise its ex-factory prices. Song said recent conversations with institutional clients revealed no change on their view of Moutai. Despite a 13% drop so far this year, Kweichou Moutai remains the largest stock by market capitalization in the Shanghai composite, making it a large part of exchange-traded funds tracking mainland Chinese stocks. By contrast, PetroChina , the second-largest company in the Shanghai composite by market value, is up more than 40% year-to-date. Stock market leaders have changed every few years, and companies on the upstream side such as in copper, coal and crude oil have recently performed well, said Ye Yuhua, manager at Guangzhou-based Liangdian Private Capital. He agreed the drop in wholesale prices won’t have a big impact on Moutai’s immediate earnings. But he said there is an effect on investor sentiment about the future — whether Moutai will have to reduce its supply to the market if a iglut of nventory builds, and starts getting sold in the next six to 12 months. Anecdotes about the economy haven’t helped boost expectations about high-end baijiu demand. The Nomura analysts noted industry data showed existing home prices dropped 26.5% across 50 major Chinese cities from a peak in July 2021 to May 2024. Duty-free sales in the tropical Chinese island of Hainan fell in May, for a nearly 30% drop in the first five months
