2020-07-22T04:00:01.008Z


At 35, Cristiano Ronaldo has not quenched his thirst for records. The Juventus striker offered a few against Lazio on Monday.


3 points and 2 goals, the routine. Cristiano Ronaldo did not register his most spectacular double on Monday night, against Lazio Rome (2-1). A penalty (51st) and a ball pushed into the goal on a service from Dybala (54th). But these two goals were enough to consolidate Juventus' leading position in Serie A, and reinforced the legend of the Portuguese striker.

11 - Before dropping a slew of records on Monday, Ronaldo had already joined big names in the Serie A pantheon last February. He had scored in 11 consecutive matches, which only Gabriel Batistuta and Fabio Quagliarella have achieved in the history of the Italian league. He was finally silent against Inter Milan last March (2-0), before the interruption of the season.

30 - Cristiano Ronaldo has reached the 30-goal mark in Serie A this season. This had not happened for a Juventus player for ... 68 years, with Dane John Hansen in 1951-52. The record for a Bianconero belongs to Hungarian Ferenc Hirzer with 35 goals. Ronaldo has 4 games left if he wants to match or even overtake him.

50 - It took 61 matches for “CR7” to reach the 50 goal mark in Serie A (51 with his double). Never seen since 1995. His performance relegates David Trezeguet (84 matches), the Brazilian Ronaldo (70) or Andriy Shevchenko (68) to the background.

50 - This record is his and only his. Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player in history to score 50 goals in Serie A, La Liga and the Premier League. He has 84 goals in the English league with Manchester United, and 311 in Spain with Real Madrid.

Until Lyon ...

At the beginning of July, Afrique Sport pointed out that Ronaldo could have yet another record in his sights: that of being top scorer in three different championships. A feat already achieved by Ruud van Nistelrooy and Luis Suarez, top scorers in the Netherlands, England and Spain. With 4 match days to go to the end of the Serie A season, Ronaldo is tied with Ciro Immobile (Lazio), both authors of 30 goals. What motivate the Portuguese to finish in cannonball, before the eighth-final second leg of the Champions League against Lyon on August 7.
