February 9, 2023 Abraham Smith

The Portuguese superstar has reached another milestone in his illustrious career

After his goals against Al-Wehda, Cristiano Ronaldo has now scored 500 league goals in his career. All goals scored by Real Madrid, Sporting Lisbon, Real Madrid, Juventus and now Al-Nassr.

A historic milestone for Ronaldo

It all started at Sporting Lisbon when Ronaldo started his career and his rapid rise to become a brilliant player took him to Manchester United; He left Sporting with three league goals.

But his career at United made him a prolific goalscorer as the five-time Ballon d’Or made history with United, there he established himself as one of the best players in Europe which saw Real Madrid break the bank and sign the player.

And the rest, as they say, is history. Ronaldo has built his own career at Real, scoring 311 goals for the Spanish club while breaking all records for a legendary Real player.

No one expected the five-time Champions League winner to leave the team, but he did so after establishing his legacy.

He didn’t have a particularly successful streak at Juventus, but he never lost his shot on goal; He scored 81 league goals for the club.

His stint at Juventus was also brief as he unexpectedly returned to Manchester United. But many questioned the team for signing Ronaldo at such an old age.

However, the player stuck to his game and was consistently United’s best player. At Manchester United, Ronaldo added to his Premier League total, taking it to 103 goals.

However, Ronaldo forced a transfer after the team failed to qualify for the Champions League, but no club showed interest in signing him while he stayed at Old Trafford.

However, things were going well for the Portuguese when an interview with well-known writer Pier Morgan, in which the 38-year-old insulted Erik Ten Hag and the club and its owner, led to his departure. Ronaldo then moved to Saudi club Al Nassr, where he has already scored three goals and set a new record with the 500th league goal of his career.
