#3 First player to score 400 league goals in Europe's top five leagues

When Ronaldo departed Manchester United in 2009, he was just a skillful winger who was perceived as arrogant and more interested in vanity and grooming himself.

At Real Madrid however, he morphed into a cold-blooded and ruthless finisher more interested in getting the job done than any other thing (perhaps due to his direct rivalry with Messi).

The shenanigans and showboating were replaced with an unquenchable thirst for goals, with the result being that Ronaldo was forged into arguably the greatest goalscorer the game has ever seen.

He departed the Bernabeu as the prestigious club's all-time record goalscorer, with a score chart reading 450 goals in just 438 matches in all competitions at a staggering ratio of over a goal per game.

With his goal in the 1-1 draw with Genoa on matchday 8 of the 2018/2019 Serie A season, Ronaldo took his career total to 403 league goals, making him only the fifth player in European club football history to achieve that feat behind Uwe Seeler (406), Jimmy McGory (410), Ferenc Puskas (514) and Josef Bican with 519 goals. Although he has overtaken Uwe Seeler and is currently one goal behind McGory to move joint-third on the list.

Looking deeper, he is the first player in history to score 400 league goals in Europe's 'Big Five' leagues (if you exclude his goals with Sporting), as the aforementioned players scored some of their goals in lesser leagues.

The breakdown of his goals shows that three came with Sporting CP, 84 with Manchester United, 311 for Real and he currently has 11 for Juventus.
