Real Madrid’s all-time highest goalscorer with 450 goals in 438 matches in all competitions is Cristiano Ronaldo. The second in place would be Karim Benzema with 354, in all of his 14-year career with the team.
Although Ronaldo is going through a dry spell in the European Championships, playing for Portugal, this hasn’t always been the case.
Ronaldo scored 44 goals in 45 appearances for Al Nassr in the 2023-24 season, coming shy of leading them to victory against Al Hilal in the pro-Saudi League.
A winner of five Ballon d’Or awards, Ronaldo is among the sport’s top goal scorers.
Failing to score for the second straight game at the Euro Cup and having to fend off fans repeatedly trying to click a selfie with him, the Portuguese superstar was left frustrated by the end of the match with Turkiye.
Ronaldo had no goals, one assist and no less than four selfie-seeking field invaders for a company during Portugal’s chaotic win over Turkey by 3-0 that secured his team a spot in the 2024 Euro Cup’s round of 16 on Saturday.
One of the world’s most popular and well-known sports stars, Ronaldo was as always the centre of attention at Westfalenstadion. It’s just not the way he might have wanted it.
“That’s the price you pay for being so recognized in the world of football,” said Bernardo Silva, his teammate who scored the opening goal for Portugal against Turkiye.
Making a record 27th appearance at the Euro Cup, Ronaldo got his first goal involvement in the tournament by setting up the third goal for Bruno Fernandes in the 55th minute.
Ronaldo came face to face with the goalkeeper with no defenders in sight but instead of taking the shot, he made an unselfish pass to Fernandes who sent it home.
