It was Ronaldo’s fourth title in Italy since joining Juventus.
He scored his first senior goal 6681 days ago, when playing for Sporting Lisbon, and that means he’s technically scored a goal every 8.79 days since.
On the 7th of October 2002, @Cristiano scored his first official goal. Today he reached a historical 7️⃣6️⃣0️⃣ goals. ✨

The best goal scorer in the history of football. A talent from another planet. 🤩#MadeInSporting #CR7 pic.twitter.com/xA8pqpe7DM
102 of those goals came for Portugal, just 5 came at Sporting, he scored 118 for Manchester United, 450 for Real Madrid, and last night’s was his 85th for Juventus.
It is of course a record that is highly-disputed as players like Pele and Romario have been said to have scored over 1000 goals each. However many of the games they played in were considered friendlies, amateur, or unofficial.
