When Cristiano Ronaldo took a dig at Pele’s goalscoring records during an interview with Rio Ferdinand

During an interview with Rio Ferdinand in one of the videos on his YouTube channel, Cristiano Ronaldo appeared to take a dig at Pele’s goalscoring record. The legendary Brazilian forward holds a Guinness World Record of scoring 1,279 goals in 1,363 games.

However, due to a lack of video footage to prove many of his goals, Pele’s numbers have been disputed. Ronaldo expressed his desire to reach 1000 goals in his career in the interaction with Ferdinand. The Portuguese ace added that all his goals would be well documented, seemingly taking a dig at Pele’s goalscoring record.

He said (via YouTube):

"For me, the best milestone that one can reach in football is to reach first at 900 goals. After that, my challenge is to be 1000 goals - with one difference. All the goals that I score, they have videos so I can prove. They all have videos. And if you want more goals, I can bring from the training too. So there's no problem."

Cristiano Ronaldo’s numbers currently stand at 910 goals and 256 assists in 1251 games for club and country.
