Cristiano Ronaldo has made history after scoring yesterday against Everton.
He has become the first player in football history to score a 700 goals combined goals for club.
Ronaldo until yesterday hadn’t scored for Manchester United in the Premier League this season.
However, after coming in for an injured Anthony Martial in the 29th minute, he received a defence-splitting pass from Carlos Casemiro in the 44th minute and was able to find the back of the net to silence the Everton fans.
Having started his career in 2002, 700 club goals mean that Ronaldo has averaged 35 goals a season.
Ronaldo has played for four clubs during his career – Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United (twice), Real Madrid and Juventus.
He scored five goals in 31 appearances for Sporting, 450 in 438 matches for Real and 101 in 134 games for Juventus. In his first spell for United he netted 118 times in 298 fixtures for the club and in his current second stint has 26 in 48 matches.
It’s the latest stunning achievement in the forward’s career – either individually or as part of a team.
Ronaldo is also the highest goal scorer in international competitions as his record 117 goals for the Portuguese national team added to 700 club goals make him the official top goal scorer in football history with a record tally of 817 career goals.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s 700th club goal comes 20 years and two days after his first goal for Sporting Lisbon.
