On Monday October 14, Christiano Ronaldo hit another milestone of 700 career goals. This great achievement appeared in Portugal’s match against Ukraine in the European championship qualifiers.
This forward joined Pele, Gerd Muller, Ferenc Puskas, Romario, and Josef Bican to be only the sixth to achieve this. Even though
Portugal lost 2-1 to Ukraine, Portugal fans consider this game a win, as Ronaldo is closing in on 100 goals for Portugal. Currently with 95, the striker is inching toward the record of international goals set by Ali Daei of 109.
What’s left for him to achieve?
There is still an ongoing rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi to be the best player in Europe, statistically. Messi currently has 672 goals and is creeping toward joining the 700 goal club. They both are currently the top scorers of the Championship League with Ronaldo having 126 goals and Messi having 112.
Ronaldo also has a long way to go to reach the top number of career goals scored. A record is currently being held by Joef Biscan with 805 goals.
