Cristiano Ronaldo achieved a new career milestone on Thursday as he became the first player ever to score 800 career goals with a brace against Arsenal in Manchester United's 3-2 win in a Premier League clash.
Ronaldo scored his 800th and 801st goals against the Gunners thus taking his goals tally at the club level to 686. He has scored 450 goals for Real Madrid, 130 for Manchester United, 101 for Juventus and five in Sporting CP shirt. At the international arena, he has netted 115 times donning the Portugal jersey.
In the list of all-time highest goal scorers for club and country, the Manchester United attacker is followed by Brazil legend Pele who scored 765 career goals.
Seven times Ballon D'Or winner Lionel Messi is just 10 goals short of Pele's tally with 755 career goals with 80 coming in an Argentina shirt.
Other than Ronaldo and Messi, three other active players who feature in the top 20 list of goalscorers are Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robert Lewandowski and Luis Suarez.

MESS7 is the greatest motivation of CR5 cos the day CR5 hangs up his boot will be the day Messi takes away the very one thing that makes him relevant in his comparison to MESS7. Goals and nothing else. But of a surety, MESS7 will surpass him in every attacking aspect of the game including goals at the end of their career
