Record Alert: Cristiano Ronaldo becomes the leading top scorer in football
Manchester United icon Ronaldo has continued his remarkable scoring run since returning to Old Trafford and has now set a new world record after netting his 805th, 806th and 807th career goals.
Old Trafford was his stage and Tottenham were his victim as he made it 136 goals for United, with 450 coming at Real Madrid, 101 at Juventus, 115 for Portugal and five for Sporting.
The incredible Ronaldo has been moving up the all-time scoring charts in recent years and has now overtaken Austria-Czech icon Josef Bican.
No one has scored more goals recognised by FIFA than the Portuguese superstar, who has inked his name at the top of history’s scoring charts.
Who was Josef Bican?
Austrian Bican is said to have scored 805+ goals in 530+ games spanning from 1931-1956.
He scored 395 in 217 games for Slavia Prague claiming the honour of being football’s leading goalscorer of all-time for over 60 years.
Although it is said he scored close to 1,500 goals in total during his playing days, only 805 of those were recognised by FIFA.
He played for two national sides, first for his native Austria and then for Czechoslovakia and retired at the age of 42.
