Recently, Ronaldo broke another record and joined the ‘Elite Five’.
Whatever the time of year, you can always guarantee that Cristiano Ronaldo will score goals.
Pre-season, post-season, or during the campaign, the incredible Portuguese will pop up to find the net again and again in whatever shirt he happens to have pulled on that day.
Recently the Portuguese man surpassed Pele’s record of 77 international goals with a world cup qualifying hat-trick against Faroe Island moving to 78 goals.
