Cristiano Ronaldo broke the FIFA record for the most goalscored in football history, with 807 goals. The Manchester United star's hat-trick goal against Tottenham in the Premier League helped him break the officially announced goal record of Czech legend Josef Bikan.
Ronaldo tied the record with a thunderous shot from 30 yards away, reflecting his famous performance against Porto in the 2008 Champions League. After Jaden Sancho gave him a serve, he secured his second goal of the day with a simple flick and grabbed his own treble with his header in the final corner.
Ronaldo scored five goals in sport before joining United in 2003, scoring 118 goals in his initial game for Old Trafford. He became Real Madrid's record top scorer with 450 goals, scoring 101 goals at Juventus in three years and 17 since returning to Manchester United. The striker is a record scorer in international football, scoring 115 senior goals for Portugal.
Confusion remains as to how many goals former defender Bikan has scored in his career, with the Czech Football Association insisting he scored 815 goals. Pele, meanwhile, has long claimed he scored 1,283 goals for Santos and Brazil in his career. But in terms of FIFA-recognised goals, Ronaldo is undoubtedly the front-runner and he has plenty of opportunities to continue to expand and make the record an unassailable one.
