Ronaldo most goals since Sivori in 1961

Cristiano Ronaldo has become only the fifth player to score at least 32 Serie A goals in a single calendar year, the first since Omar Sivori in 1961.

The Juventus star bagged a brace in tonight’s 4-0 victory over Parma at the Stadio Tardini.

That took his tally for the calendar year 2020 to 32 goals and he still has another game left to play.

That allows him to equal the number scored by Stefano Nyers in 1951, and is just one shy of Sivori’s 33 set in 1961.

The ultimate record belongs to Felice Borel with 41 goals in 1933, followed by Gunnar Nordahl on 36 in 1950.

Remarkably, Ronaldo has achieved the figure of 32 goals when playing only 28 Serie A games in 2020.
