Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 50 goals for the sixth consecutive season. He’s the first to ever do so.
It’s getting harder and harder to address Ronaldo as anything other than one of the greatest players of all time. Every time we think he is past it, or overrated, he goes and scores goals, lots and lots of goals. It’s like we’re calling an investment banker washed up and he goes and makes a million in a day.
The following video is long, it shows each and every one of Ronaldo’s goals for Real Madrid, as of March 7th this year. It’s a little over an hour of 352 goals, and it’s a lot easier to watch than you might expect; it’s just so much fun to watch Ronaldo score.
Ronaldo gets a lot of grief for his attitude. There are people who would crack jokes about him along the lines of “I bet 10,000 views of the above video came from Ronaldo himself.” But that attitude is part of what makes him so great. He is obsessed with himself, and he’s obsessed with success because of it.
Ronaldo has changed his style of play in recent years, going from a winger to more of a goal poacher, and while his touches have gone down his goals have not. To think that he might win another Champions League in a couple weeks only adds to his impressiveness.
Go ahead and bask in this record Ronaldo, no one is going to be taking it from you anytime soon.
