Ronaldo achieved a landmark in his illustrious football career when he slotted a goal against Ukraine in Kiev last night.
It was a 72nd minute penalty well converted by the Portuguese superstar and talisman.
And that brings him to 700 international career goals in 974 matches.
A breakdown of CR7 goals.
The Juventus star can now beat his chest and said “Yes, I did it”.
Both a legend at Manchester United and Real Madrid, and soon to be one at Turin( should he gift them the UCL trophy).
Here is the analysis of his 700 career goals.
- 5 at his first club in his native Portugal.. Sporting Club.
- 118 goals at Manchester United from a total 292 matches…
- 450 goals in 438 matches for Real Madrid- this is his greatest so far.
- 51 goals for Juventus till date.
- 95 international goals for Portugal
And he isn’t done yet, he still has more goals to come both forclub and country.
Can CR7 break all goals record?
This is not totally impossible. He is already close to a century of international goals( only 5 remaining) which he can achieve come November 14 and 17 when Portugal takes on Luxembourg and Lithuania.
After that he can chase Iranian Ali Daei with 109 goals(just 14 more international goals): this he can achieve before or after Euro 2020 competition (June 12- July 12th, 2020).
And for total goals, he just needs more 105 goals to break the all time record of 805 career goals by Josef Bican.
The Most complete striker of our generation:
Look at this and you will be amazed at what this GOAT has done.
128 goals with his head, and 126 with his left foot as against 444 goals from his nearly perfect right foot.(ratio of 3.5 to 1)
Conclusion:
A big congratulations to Cristiano Ronaldo.
You are simply awesome and wonderful.
Many will weep the day he stops playing soccer…
Till then..
Long live the “European King of football (soccer)”
