    So I think we should debate who is better between Ronaldo and Messi...

    Haven't done it for a while :-)

    Not a fan of the Messi/Ronaldo debate (just enjoy them both!), but was surprised to hear today that Real Madrid have only won La Liga once in the time that Ronaldo has been there (six years).

    Shame - would have liked to have seen him again in the Premier League.

    Breaks the international goalscoring record and now has 111 international goals. Since 2016 he has a quite ridiculous 56 goals in 57 games.

    To put his record into perspective, England's all time record scorer Wayne Rooney and France's record scorer Thierry Henry, combined scored 104 goals.

    Amazing achievement from an amazing player, felt sorry for Ireland though.

    he is an absolute freak - unbelievable player

    his overall stats are just ridiculous

    even at 36 he'll still bang goals in for Utd

    I reckon he won’t score more than 12 league goals for United this season.

    Next on his list of records is the number of mens international caps. He has 180 and according to wiki the record is 195. Although there is a guy still playing for Kuwait who has 185.

    For all time club/country appearances he needs 125 more games to get 2nd place, but needs to play most games for about another 6-7 years to get near Peter Shilton's record. Unlikely but with him you never know.

    He'll probably get close to that in penalties the amount they get awarded.

    I reckon he'll get at 20 if he stays fit.

    He'll be back on penalties

    Half a dozen cup games minimum in the CL, a long FA cup run, 38 games in the league, a world cup and a few other international games, he could get another 125 games in by the end of next season!

    And yet Josh Parker is without a club. Doesn’t seem fair really.

    Ronaldo has scored 60 goals in his last 59 internationals!

    A lot of top players don't even get anywhere near 60 in their whole career.

    Van Persie 50
    Thierry Henry 51
    Rooney 53
    Cavani 54
    Batistuta 54
    Romario 55

    Just a few examples.

    He's also scored more career hat-tricks than the above have scored international goals.

    How he manages to pull these important goals out of nothing time and time again is just astounding really.
