Cristiano Ronaldo equaled Raul as Real
Madrid’s all-time top scorer when he netted
both goals in a 2-0 win at Swedish side Malmo
in Champions’ League Group A on Wednesday.
Former Spain striker Raul, now with New York
Cosmos, hit 323 goals in 741 appearances for
Real between 1994 and 2010, while Ronaldo has
needed a mere 308 games to match him.
The Portugal captain scored his 500th career
goal in 753 games for club and country in the
29th minute when he ran clear onto an Isco
pass and clipped a clinical shot past Johan
Wiland in the Malmo goal.
Ronaldo joined Real from Manchester United in
July 2009 for what was then a record fee of 94
million euros (£69.49 million). He has won the
last two FIFA Ballon d’Or awards for the world’s
best player, ending a four-year run enjoyed by
his great rival Lionel Messi of Barcelona, having
won his first in 2008.
Ronaldo is the top scorer in the Champions
League with 82 goals five more than Messi who
is currently on 77.
Who says this guy is not on fire????
