“Cristiano Ronaldo Breaks His Own Goal Record and Becomes the All-Time Leading Goal Scorer”

While his position among the greatest football players of all time has already been solidified, Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved another remarkable milestone in his career. He scored two goals in a 3-2 victory over Arsenal in the Premier League, surpassing his own career goal record.

Ronaldo, who was ranked second among the world’s top forwards in ESPN’s FC 100 rankings for 2021, has made a total of 1,095 appearances for his national team.

With these additional goals to his name, Cristiano Ronaldo now has a total of 807 career goals, making him the all-time leading goal scorer in men’s football history. While Lionel Messi still outpaces Ronaldo by 48 goals, the three-year age difference between them leaves uncertainty about whether Messi can catch up. The previous record was held by Josef Bican, who scored 805 goals from 1931 to 1955. This is truly an extraordinary accomplishment.

In addition to leading among his teammates, Ronaldo has become the all-time leading goal scorer in professional men’s football. He has surpassed world-class forwards like Luis Suarez, Robert Lewandowski, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and even Lionel Messi to become the leading male goal scorer in the history of world football.
