Greatest records broken by Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest players of all time, and the Juventus forward has some incredible records to prove it. The Portuguese superstar has won a slew of awards for both club and country, including seven league titles, five Champions Leagues, and the Euros, but it’s his personal achievements that stand out.

Here are some of the craziest records he has broken so far:

  1. Most goals by a Man Utd player in a single 38-game season (31 goals, 2007/08):

Now, 31 goals are far from Ronaldo’s most prolific league season, but this record demonstrates his ability to dominate in what many consider to be the world’s toughest league. Manchester United has had some great strikers during the Premier League era, but Ronaldo remains the all-time great. A natural occurrence in front of the goal.

2. Fastest player ever to score 350 goals for one club in Europe’s top five leagues (338 games)

Yes, you heard it correctly. Cristiano scored 350 goals in just 338 games at Real Madrid. A record that won’t be broken any time soon.

3. Most goals in a single Champions League campaign (17 goals, 2013/14)

Many people thought that one player scoring 15 goals in a single Champions League season was absurd, but Ronaldo did just that, plus two more for good measure. He is the only man in the competition to score 15 goals, and he’s done it three times now, including four in the finals!

4. The only player to score 60+ goals in a calendar year for four consecutive years (2011-2014)

For most world-class strikers in the modern game, scoring 60 goals or more in a single year would be an achievement like no other. Only Ronaldo could make the feat look like another day at the office. He did what no other player has done. The definition of consistency.

5. The first player to score 50+ goals in the Premier League, La Liga & Serie A

Ronaldo is the only player to have scored at least 50 goals in the Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A, the three most prestigious domestic leagues in Europe. He’ll soon reach the 100-goal mark for Juventus, which will make him the first player to score 100+ goals in the Premier League, La Liga & Serie A.

Clearly, these records won’t be broken anytime soon.

Personal and team success has clearly motivated him throughout his career, and it’s unlikely he’ll stop winning medals and breaking records anytime soon. The international goals record is undoubtedly next on his list, as is a sixth Ballon d’Or in the future to equalize with Messi.
