Cristiano Ronaldo makes history with 800th goal

Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first player in history to score 800 competitive goals between club and country, including 101 for Juventus.

The 36-year-old was on target for Manchester United in this evening’s Premier League game against Arsenal.

He was already the record-holder for official goals in all recognised competition, but extended it even further by reaching 800 with a right-footed strike from Marcus Rashford’s assist.

This was his 129th goal in the Manchester United jersey over two different spells.

He also found the net 450 times for Real Madrid, 101 for Juventus and five for Sporting CP, plus 115 goals for Portugal at senior international level.

Ronaldo was not satisfied with the round number and rapidly reached 801 goals soon after by converting a penalty at Old Trafford.

CR7 was already at Manchester United from 2003 to 2009 and the Portuguese legend returned in August on transfer deadline day for €15m plus bonuses after three years in the Juventus shirt.
