Despite United's poor record this season, Cristiano Ronaldo is still going all out to contribute. If you only count the number of goals scored in the top league, Ronaldo's career is already approaching the 500-goal mark, only 24 goals away from the historical record. In the future, C Ronaldo is likely to become the top league historical goalscorer king, and from the current situation, Ronaldo's only competitor is Messi!
In the history of football, the one who has scored the most goals in the top flight is Joseph Bikan, who has scored a total of 518 goals. In second place is legendary superstar Puskas, who scored 514 goals. Cristiano Ronaldo is currently in third place, scoring a total of 496 goals at Sport of Portugal, Real Madrid, Juve and Manchester United.
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 17 goals in the Premier League this season. It is worth noting that Ronaldo has scored 5 goals in his last 3 Premier League games, and if he can score 4 goals in the last 3 Premier League games of the season, he can reach the 500-goal milestone in the top flight before the end of the season!
If 500 goals is a small goal for Cristiano Ronaldo, then his ultimate goal will be to surpass Bikan to become the all-time top-flight goalscorer. At present, Ronaldo is only 24 goals away from Bikan, and maybe he will be able to surpass next season! Ronaldo's only rival is Messi, who scored 47 goals for Barca and 4 goals for Paris, and there is still an 18-goal gap between him and Cristiano Ronaldo. If he can return to his form in barca, Messi is also expected to break the 500-goal mark next season and even surpass Bikan. And he is two years younger than C Ronaldo, so it is also possible to surpass and become the first person in history.
If you count all competitions, Cristiano Ronaldo's career goals have reached 812 goals, while Messi has 762 goals. The gap between the two is 50 goals, and whether it is possible to narrow in the future depends on the state and professional life of the two. But what is certain is that for quite some time, no one will surpass or even approach Ronaldo and Messi.
