Cristiano Ronaldo continues to blow up the meters

This summer at the Euro, Portugal will be keen to defend its title. And as usual in recent years, Lusitano will be able to count on their star, Cristiano Ronaldo. Friday night, CR7 Shone again, with a nice goal. Perhaps anecdotal indeed, since it was Luxembourg opposite, but this achievement brings even more Portuguese peaks. The stats are a little different depending on the sources, since the Portuguese media evoke a total of 699 career goals, while the Spanish media, like Marca, say that the achievement of yesterday has allowed the former Madrid to reach the symbolic bar of 700 career goals.

The doubt would come from a goal with Real Madrid which we do not really know if it was granted to the former number 7 merengue. The Spanish newspaper presents the following statistics: 700 achievements in 973 meetings in total. 451 achievements in 438 appearances with the tunic of Real Madrid, 118 goals in 292 games with Manchester United, 32 pawns in 51 games with Juventus, while he has shaken the net 5 times in 31 games with Sporting. Finally, 94 goals in 161 games with the Lusitanian selection. Anyway, his statistics in selection are well confirmed. With his goal on Friday, Cristiano Ronaldo is only 15 achievements of the record of goals in the national team, which belongs to the Iranian Ali Daei (109 goals in total).

Reaching this record, which seems playable on paper, would allow him to enter a little more history. Another interesting statistic published by the newspaper Marca, about 25% of his goals were scored in the last fifteen minutes of the meetings, sign that he is indeed a player clutch, decisive in important moments. His favorite rivals in the club are Sevilla (27 goals) and Atlético (25 goals), while he scored 18 goals against Barça. In selection, he is the pet peeve of Sweden, Latvia, Andorra and Armenia, with 5 goals against each of his selections. His 700th goal, if he was not registered last night, will fall in the coming weeks. But a question now arises: will he manage to reach Ali Daei?
