4 records that prove Cristiano Ronaldo is an all-time great

4. Real Madrid's all time leading goal-scorer

In 2015 Ronaldo broke Raul's record to become Real Madrid's all time top goal scorer

Being the top goal-scorer at Real Madrid isn't an easy task considering many of the best strikers of all time have played for the world-famous club.

This reality has presented very few problems for Ronaldo though, who not only eclipsed Raul's record of 323 goals in 2015 but has since gone on to score another 120 goals.

Ronaldo currently sits at an incredible 445 goals in 430 appearances for Los Blancos which makes his record even more impressive. To emphasise how impressive this is, Ronaldo would have to play for over 400 more games without scoring for Real Madrid if he had to equal Raul's goal-to-game ratio.

Given that by the time Ronaldo has finished playing for Real Madrid this record could be over 600 goals (if he continues to score at the rate he is), it seems unlikely that we will see it ever being broken. And certainly not at the rate of more than a goal per game like Ronaldo has managed to achieve.

This record is undoubtedly one of Ronaldo's finest and it shows that even when playing for arguably the biggest club in football, he is still the standout player. For him to score as many goals as he has in the minuscule time frame is nothing short of a miracle.

The numbers behind this record demonstrate what a once-in-a-lifetime talent Ronaldo is, and he will be sorely missed by Real Madrid when he ceases to play for them.

To be the top goalscorer at any club is an impressive feat, but for Ronaldo to do it at the club that has boasted Di Stefano, Puskas, Brazillian Ronaldo, Raul, Van Nistelrooy, Michael Owen and David Suker is nothing short of remarkable. And when you consider that he has done this primarily from the left wing, you are left speechless.

To be the top goal scorer in your club's history is special, but to be the top goal scorer in Real Madrid's histroy is something greater when considering the legacy and stature of former legends who have played for Los Blancos. It demonstrates that Ronaldo's level is so high he is the greatest player at the greatest club, adding more fire to the fuel that he is in the one of the greatest players ever.
