Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo leads the way for most penalties scored in club football in the 21st century ahead of Lionel Messi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s legendary goalscoring exploits have propelled him to the outright top scorer status both in club football and on the international stage.

PopFoot compiled the data on how well players have performed from the spot-kick for their clubs and Ronaldo came out on top by some distance.

Ronaldo, who has scored more headers than any other player this century, has successfully converted an incredible 128 times from penalties in his remarkable club playing career.

The 37-year-old Portuguese forward’s tally from the spot-kick is expected to be much higher if his penalty tally from Portugal is taken into account.

Despite not being United and Portugal’s designated penalty kick taker, Ronaldo’s teammate Bruno Fernandes managed to secure his place at No 20.
