A new year may have started, but the reality is that the ‘Commander’ is still the same ‘crack’ as always. In the first game of 2021, he achieved a double to give victory to Juventus and also, Cristiano Ronaldo tied Pelé and is now the second highest scorer in history.
The match ended 4-1.
The Portuguese has become the scorer of the ‘Vecchia Signora’ and that is why his historical records continue to improve. First he received from Ramsey, who stole the ball in the opposite field and accelerated towards the area. He penetrated from the right to the center and took a cross shot.
The second was even better, at 69 minutes the Uruguayan Rodrigo Betancur enabled it, he went hand in hand and solved left-handed. With that he signed the first double of 2021, but above all, he reached a record that belonged to the historic Pelé.

He reached 758 official goals in his career.
He equaled Pelé as the second top scorer in the history of professional football. The Brazilian did 757 goals in 815 official matches and Cristiano came to 757 goals in 1035 official matches. Less time, but same quality of players.
Ronaldo adds 656 goals as a team and another 102 with Portugal, where he became the first player in that team to pass the barrier of 100 goals. Pelé, meanwhile, registered 680 goals with Santos and Cosmos, and another 77 with Brazil.
Now he’s going for number 1.
Cristiano Ronaldo (tied with Pelé), is now the second highest scorer in history and is close to matching Josef Bican, who added a total of 759. That means he could become the all-time top scorer in a pair of more matches.
