#2 He’s one of the most clinical goalscorers on the planet
On Club World Cup duty with Madrid during the week, Ronaldo netted his 500th career club goal – not bad for a guy who hasn’t always been an out-and-out striker.
He is Los Blancos’ all-time leading goalscorer with 377 strikes and averages 0.73 club goals per game. The Portuguese star is a veritable goal-hungry, lone wolf when he wants to be, and although he went through a bit of a drought at the beginning of the 2016/17 campaign, no-one has yet figured out how to keep him quiet for long.
Class is often said to be permanent, and that is true in Ronaldo’s case than most other players.
Provide him with the right service and he will, more often than not, finish chances, even when the team isn’t experiencing a whole amount of joy against a stubborn defence. He possesses that killer instinct, which he has grafted to hone expertly, and he’s not going to let it slip away anytime soon.
Expect to see him reach yet more incredible milestones in the future because, with a projected nine more years of football to come, he might just reach the 1,000 goal mark. After all, if it sounds too outlandish to happen, you can be sure that will only motivate him further.
