4 records Cristiano Ronaldo can break this season

Modified Nov 11, 2018 10:50 GMT

#3 First player to be top scorer in EPL, LaLiga and Serie A

Manchester United v West Ham United - Premier League

This is another record which the Portuguese will most definitely have in his sights. Cristiano Ronaldo's goal-scoring abilities first came to the fore in the 2007/08 season, when he was playing for Manchester United. Ronaldo scored 31 goals in 34 Premier League games, finished as the top scorer in the League and won the Premier League Golden Boot.

He followed it up for Real Madrid in LaLiga in 2010/11 season, where he became the top scorer in LaLiga by scoring 40 goals from 34 games. He finished the top scorer in LaLiga two more times, in the 2013/14 season, scoring 31 goals from 30 games and in the 2014/15 season, scoring 48 goals from 35 games.

In the Serie A this season, Ronaldo is right among the midst again, finding the net 7 times already, from 11 games. While he is currently third behind Krzysztof Piatek and Ciro Immobile, one can safely assume that Ronaldo's pedigree and experience will drive him past the competition by the end of the season.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two.
