The five goalscoring legends who have scored more goals than Cristiano Ronaldo – fighisonline.blog

Cristiano Ronaldo 700 goals so far have come from 973 matches, scoring at least once in 458 of those and in 12 different competitions, meaning he’s scored a goal every 112 minutes and in 47 percent of the games he’s played.

✍He scored five in 31 games with Sporting CP,

✍ 118 in 292 games with Manchester United,

✍451 in 438 games in Spain for Real Madrid

✍ 32 in 51 games at Juventus.

With 700, Cristiano is the sixth top scorer in the history of world football. Only five legends sit ahead of him,

The immortal Pele is next on 779, followed by another Brazilian in Romario on 748.
Fourth place belongs to Ferenc Puskas who scored 709, while Gerd Muller will be the first to drop out of the top five as his tally sits at 701.

Cristiano is 34-years old. He’s 105 goals shy of Biscan and although it seems like an impossible task, it’s hard to rule anything out for him.

😎Lionel Messi, meanwhile has 668 goals from 823 games. But he’s got a two-year advantage and his threat exists for the Portuguese.

Why Edin Hazard is not the right man to replace Christiano Ronaldo- Arsene Wenger explains- fighisonline.blog

Arsene Wenger explains why Eden Hazard is not the man to replace Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid

Wenger doesn’t believe Hazard is the man to replace Ronaldo, who is now plying his trade with Juventus after quitting Madrid in 2018.

“He will be the answer but not in replacing Ronaldo that is for sure,” Wenger told beIN Sports about Hazard.

“He will not score 50 goals a year because that’s now how they play football.

“They need another goal scorer in Real Madrid because Benzema is now 32 and if they had someone younger around him to score the goals, maybe they could do very well.

“Eden Hazard is an exceptional player to create chances to sometimes finish when he needs to do in big games. He’s not scared of anybody – I don’t think Real have yet to see the real Hazard, he’s not as sharp physically as he can be.

“That’s why I believe they will discover the real Hazard.”

Cristiano Ronaldo hints when he will retire – and it could be next year.

“Maybe I can leave my career next year … but I can also play up to 40 or 41.

“I don’t know. What I always say is to enjoy the moment. The gift is excellent and I have to continue to enjoy it.”

However Ronaldo had his sights set on a different achievement, rather than trophies.

The 34-year-old still has three years remaining on his Juventus contract.

He added: “Are there any soccer players who have more records than me?”😃

“I don’t think there are any footballers who have more records than me.”

But he has previously highlighted a significant difference between the two of them.

“The difference with Messi is that I played for several clubs and won the Champions League with different clubs,” said Ronaldo in his DAZN documentary ‘The Making Of’.

“I was top scorer in the Champions League six seasons in a row. There aren’t many players who won five Champions League trophies, so this is why I feel that I can identity myself with this tournament.

“Messi is an excellent player who will be remembered not just for his Ballon d’Or wins, but also for having improved – like me – year after year.

“I wake up every morning with the idea in my head of training with the objective of achieving something more, not just to earn money.

“Thank God, I don’t lack money, so what I want to earn is a place in the history of football.”
Well… he’s certainly done that.

Ronaldo: Today any player can go for 100m euros, even without demonstrating anything.

“It’s difficult to make calculations in modern football,” Ronaldo told Portuguese channel TV1.

“[Clubs] gamble a lot on potential and the football industry is different.

“Leaving the case of Joao Felix to the side, any player can go for 100 million euros, even without showing anything.

“There is more money in football.
“A centre back and a goalkeeper can go for 70 or 80 million euros.

Ronaldo broke the world transfer record in 2009 when he moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid for 94 million euros, before going for another 100 million euros when he joined Juventus last year.

“I don’t agree [with it] but it’s the world that we live in and you have to respect it.”

Zidane used to say to me: Cristiano, relax, you will make the difference

Ronaldo discussed his relationship with Zinedine Zidane, his old head coach, and was full of praise for the Frenchman.

“The confidence that a player needs doesn’t only come from himself but also from the players around him and the coach,” Ronaldo stated.

“You need to feel like you are an important part of the group and Zidane made me feel special.

“He helped me a lot. I already had a lot of respect for him but working with him made me admire him more.

“That’s because of what he’s like as a person, how he talks, how he led the team and how he treated me.

“He’d tell me, ‘Cris, relax and just play your game – you are the one who is going to make the difference.’

“He was always honest with me and that’s why I’ll always have a real affection for him.”
