10 unbelievable records set by Cristiano Ronaldo this decade (2010-2019)

#7 Highest goalscorer in European qualifying history

After guiding Portugal to the European Championship back in 2016, Ronaldo kicked off his country's title defence this year by helping them secure a place in the 2020 edition of the tournament.

The 34-year-old skipper netted in all six of their final qualifiers for the Euros this year, including four goals against Lithuania, which helped him smash Robbie Keane's record as the highest goalscorer in European qualifying history.

While the Irishman recorded a tally of 23 goals, Ronaldo went on to register 31 goals in 35 games for his national team in the qualifying stage of the competition.

The Juventus marksman will hope to increase his overall tally (99 goals) in the European Championship as he looks to fire them to a consecutive title next summer.

#8 Most wins in the Champions League

Shortly after legendary goalkeeper Iker Casillas set the record for the most wins in the UEFA Champions League, Porto failed to qualify for the competition which means the former Real Madrid man did not feature in the elite European tournament for the first time in 20 years.

Ronaldo took due advantage of the opportunity and surpassed the shot-stopper's record of 101 victories in the competition by helping Juventus establish a 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen back in October.

His goal during the game also helped him equal Real Madrid legend Raul Gonzalez's record of scoring against 33 different opponents in the competition.
