Cristiano Ronaldo (36) of Italian professional football Juventus set a record of 760 goals in his personal career. Thanks to Ronaldo’s performance, Juventus won the ninth Italian Super Cup (Supercopa Italiana).
Juventus won 2-0 in the final match against Napoli in the Italian Super Cup held at Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia, Italy on the 21st (Korean time). Ronaldo led the team to victory with the opening goal. He opened the Naples goal with a left-footed shot of the ball that fell in front of him in a corner kick situation in the late 19th minute when neither team had scored. after Juan Quadrado (33) received a pass in the second half extra time. Alvaro Morata, 29, scored an extra goal, and Juventus regained its place at the top of the Super Cup after two years.
On this day, Ronaldo made a big record of 760 goals in his personal life. He started with five goals for his professional debut club Sporting Lisbon, scored 118 goals for Manchester United, 450 goals for Real Madrid, 85 goals for Juventus and 102 goals for the Portuguese national team.
Foreign media introduced Ronaldo’s 760 goals as “the highest scored record in football history.” British media Skysports reported that “Christiano Ronaldo became the highest scorer in the history of football,” and “beyond Joseph Vican’s 759 goals, who scored the most goals so far.” The British tabloid Daily Mail also said, “Ronaldo surpassed striker Josef Vikan, who played in Austria and the Czech Republic between 1931 and 1955. As he is still at the top of world football, the record will continue to extend.” .
However, there are opinions that the record of past players is not clear, so it is difficult to see it as’the highest score in history’. In an article entitled’Is Ronaldo Really Breaking the World Record?’, the BBC broadcast of the UK presented data from the International Sports and Football Statistics Foundation (RSSSF) that Vican scored 805 goals. He said, “If you look at the records of the first team and the national team, Ronaldo is likely to be the top scorer, but this is also not clear.”
