The record books continue to be rewritten by Cristiano Ronaldo, who now has scored a record breaking 900 goals. 900th goal last night against Croatia in the 2-1 victory in the Nations League sets a new record from the Portuguese who continues to prove himself as one to the greatest of all time (G.O.A.T).
Note that Ronaldo, Messi and Lewandowiski are still playing professional football and so their figures can change.
Cristiano Ronaldo was in tears after scoring this 900th career goal in Portugal's match against Croatia for the Nations League. This was a historic moment that will always be remembered in the history of football. It was a great moment for the Portuguese international to the extent he cried during his celebration.
Ronaldo's 900th goal puts him as the leading top scorer in football history, meaning he scored an average of 45 goals for each of the 20 calendar seasons he has played in his career. Cristiano remains 62 goals ahead for his rival Lionel Messi.
During the after match interview with Cristiano Ronaldo, the 39-year-old said: " It was an exciting goal for me, it's a round number. Only I know how hard it is to work every day to score your 900th goal. It's a unique milestone in my career.
"I don’t break records they haunt me!"
