Cristiano Ronaldo breaks his scoring record

In the Champions League Cristiano Ronaldo broke his own record of scoring record in the match against APOEL. The Portugal captain has resisted so far this term and has just one league goal for Zinedine Zidane’s men.

After a taxing summer he’s looked some way short of his normal self this season and had 12 goals in 18 appearances for Madrid. However, Ronaldo put his difficult start to the season behind him with two goals in Madrid’s 6-0 win in Cyprus.

Incredibly, the goals were Ronaldo’s 17th and 18th in the Champions League in this calendar year and he’s the first player to ever hit 17 in one year. Ronaldo held the previous best for the 16 goals he notched in 2015 but he’s broken that record to create another piece of history in his illustrious career.

The previous record was for the 16 goals he scored in 2015 and he’s broken that record to establish another one in his memorable career.
