760 up, Ronaldo hailed as most prolific goalscorer
Cristiano Ronaldo was hailed as the most prolific professional goalscorer in the history of the game on Wednesday after notching his 760th senior goal to help Juventus beat Napoli 2-0 in the Italian Supercup final.
The title of greatest goalscorer is much contested, and global governing body FIFA does not keep an official record, but several media outlets reported that Ronaldo鈥檚 strike had taken him past Austro-Czech Josef Bican to the top of the list. Bican, as well as Brazilian strikers Pele and Romario, scored in excess of 1,000 goals during their careers but those statistics include strikes in amateur, unofficial and friendly matches. Ronaldo鈥檚 career tally includes goals for four top-flight clubs and Portugal with his closest active rival being Argentine Lionel Messi, who last month scored a single club record 644th goal for Barcelona. The 35-year-old, who is the leading goalscorer for his country with 102 goals, has played for Sporting Lisbon (5 goals), Manchester United (118) and Real Madrid (450). He has scored 85 goals for Juve. 鈥淭he incredible @Cristiano has scored his 760th career goal tonight, overtaking Josef Bican as the highest goal scorer in the history of football. What an achievement,鈥 former England striker Gary Lineker said on Twitter.
