Cristiano Ronaldo Is Officially The Greatest Goalscorer In Football History
Cristiano Ronaldo now holds the record for the most goals scored for club and country in football history.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner surpassed Pele's tally of 757 goals a couple of weeks back and after pulling level with Josef Bican against Sassuolo last week, Ronaldo has now moved ahead of the Austrian-Czech legend, who managed 759 between 1931 and 1955.
The Juventus superstar's strike against Napoli to open the scoring in tonight's 2-0 Supercoppa Italiana win means he has hit a ridiculous record-breaking 760 goals across his decorated career.

After Ronaldo knocked Pele off his perch, there were suggestions that the 80-year-old had apparently updated his Instagram to claim that he remains football's record scorer with 1,283 goals in what was deemed to be a serious "s**thouse" tactic.
However, the three-time World Cup winner took to Twitter to state that he did not change his bio.
Here is how the rankings look after Ronaldo's goal:
10. Arthur Friedenreich - 554 goals
