Every season, the former Manchester United forward breaks records like it was as easy as eating a chocolate dessert right after a savoury meal. Last season, he became the first player to break the 100 goals barrier in the Champions League.

He also became the only footballer to score 50 goals in the Champions League knock-out stages and has 54 goals in those games. By the end of last season, he became the first and only player to be the top-scorer of the Champions League five consecutive times. Finally, his goal in the final of the Champions League last season made him the only player to score in three different finals.

So, this is a man that loves to break records and norms. Even at the age of 32, he is going strong and there looks to be no way of stopping him for the next 2-3 years at least.
