Super Athletes – Cristiano Ronaldo: 468 Goals (Official + National Team Matches) – 294 Goals in 286 Games for Real Madrid!

Cristiano Ronaldo was considered by FIFA the best player of the world in 2008 and in 2013, was second best in 2009, 2011 and 2012, and 3rd best in 2007. He is the only player in the world to have won both the Golden Boot and the Ballon d’Or with 2 different teams (Manchester United and Real Madrid).

He scored 294 goals in 286 official games played with Real Madrid’s Jersey with 51 goals in 47 matches in the 2013/2014 season, 17 of them in the Champions League and 9 in the group stage, both marks standing as new records). He has now 41 goals in the 2014/2105 season.

He is now the 3rd best scorer of Real Madrid. Raúl is the best ever with 323…watchout…at this pace two seasons more in Madrid and Ronaldo will get him! Di Stéfano (308) is in between.

In 2010/11 (season in which, like in 2007/08, he received the award for best European scorer- Golden Boot) Cristiano Ronaldo became Real Madrid’s player with most goals in a season (54) beating the record that was in possession of….Puskás! In 2009 he was the first player to win FIFA’s Ferenck Puskás award for the best goal of the year: a 40 metre wide kick into FC Porto nets while he was still playing for Manchester United (see video below).

The 294 goals mark show that Cristiano Ronaldo is awesome in every way since he scores regularly in every competition as well as in different manners, you just have to choose. A real “Goal Focused Beast” as you can see in the tables below:
