Ronaldo To Become All-Time Record-Scorer In Europe?

 

Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo could end his poor run of form by becoming the all-time record-scorer in European competitions tonight.

The Portuguese recently levelled Lionel Messi and Raul’s all-time record of 76 goals in various European competitions.

Ronaldo has scored 73 goals in the Champions League so far, while also scoring one in Champions League qualification and two in the 2014 European Super Cup final.

Messi, meanwhile, has scored 75 of his goals for Barcelona in the Champions League, while adding another in the 2011 European Super Cup final.

Ronaldo has scored 58 goals in 58 Champions League games for Los Blancos and is also the competitions record-scorer in the knockout stages, with 35 strikes.

Ronaldo is the first player to win 28 matches in the knock-stages and is currently on a run of 14 consecutive wins in the competition – the longest winning streak of any player in the history of the competition.

However, he has only scored seven goals in 12 games in 2015, but will surely be keen to add another against Schalke in the last-16 return leg.

In addition, Real Madrid have won their last 10 consecutive Champions League games – including all seven in the current campaign – and could break Bayern Munich’s competition record with another win against Schalke on Tuesday.
