There is a forever ongoing battle between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to try to figure out which of them is best and takes home the GOAT title at the end of the day and of their careers. However, the only thing we do know for sure is that we are privileged, as football fans, to be able to live in the same era as these two guys, who keep making history every time they step out on the field for a new game.

Cristiano Ronaldo just made history in week 2 of the new Serie A season in Italy, by becoming the first player in football history to reach the mark of 450 goals in the top 5 leagues in Europe, which are Spain’s La Liga, English Premier League, Italian Serie A, German Bundesliga and French Ligue 1.

Out of these, Cristiano Ronaldo has played in three, with Manchester United in the Premier League, where he scored 84 goals while coached by Sir Alex Ferguson. With Real Madrid in La Liga, which is where he grew into a world legend with astronomic figures, with a total of 311 goals, becoming the team’s historical leader, by far. And now after 2 seasons and 2 games into his third, he has already scored a total of 55 goals for Juventus, where he already won 2 league trophies as well.

In fact, Ronaldo is also the only player in football history who has managed to score at least 50 goals in each of those 3 competitions, which is also a great achievement.

Will he take on a new adventure and give one of the other 2 big leagues a try? Much has been said and rumored, he has been linked to Bayern München several times, and more recently to PSG in France, where he could have met with Neymar, Mbappe and former teammates in Real Madrid, Di Maria and Keylor Navas, but in the end he decided to stay in Juventus and try to go for a Champions League title, which is his ultimate goal in Italy. Judging by his age, 35, it’s hard to believe that he will try a new top league, but we can’t rule it out. What many have said though, and sounds more like a real possibility, is that the Portuguese superstar could end his career playing in the comfort of the MLS, where he would get paid quite well even in 2 or 3 more years, when he’s closer to 40.

What’s next in Cristiano Ronaldo’s milestone achievements?

The answer to this is easy, Cristiano is just 16 goals shy of the ultimate record in football. Brazilian superstar Pele scored a total of 757 official senior career goals, taking club and national team in account. Ronaldo has scored 742 so far, and this means that, if he keeps his usual level this season, he will be able to break this record soon. Just 15 more goals and he will tie Pele in the top spot, but one more than that and he will sit alone in a throne that no one ever thought would be taken.

Do you think he will be able to become the world’s best scorer ever? He probably will, but remember, he’s not alone in this race.
