#3 First player to score 30+ goals in a single season three of Europe's top 5 leagues
Most players would count it as an incredible achievement if they score 30 goals over the course of a single season in the league. It's an incredible thing to do at the highest level of the game. Not only do you need to have a great eye for goal, but you also need to be consistent for almost a year. Cristiano Ronaldo does both with ease.
Every player has their ups and downs during the season and that's what makes this record special. This year, Cristiano Ronaldo registered a new record by becoming the first player to score more than thirty goals in a single season in three different European leagues.
He has done that in the Premier League, La Liga and now in the Serie A. That's a prime example of value for money. When you sign Cristiano Ronaldo, there's no gamble, only guarantees.
#2 Cristiano Ronaldo is the first player to score in double digits in 16 consecutive seasons
So what is he doing when he is not scoring 30 goals a season? He is still serving up goals at an incredible rate. In football, it doesn't matter how good a player you are or how replete your skillset is. What matters is how you negotiate the rigors of the professional top-flight and keep your head down to consistently deliver on the big stage.
This year, Ronaldo became the first player to score in double digits in 16 consecutive seasons. With Cristiano Ronaldo in the side, there will never be a shortage of goals. The funny thing to note here is that till he joined Juventus, he wasn't even playing as the main striker.
That means, he has been one of the most consistent and finest goalscorers on the planet while goalscoring was not particularly his main responsibility.
#1 First player to score in 11 consecutive matches in three different competitions
In the second half of the 2019-20 season, Cristiano Ronaldo upped his game and was in sensational goalscoring form. He equalled the record for scoring in 11 consecutive games in the Serie A held by Rui Costa and Gabriel Batistuta.
He also became the first player to score in 11 consecutive matches in three different competitions. He's scored in 11 consecutive matches in the La Liga, the UEFA Champions League and now in the Serie A.
To give you some perspective, Jamie Vardy was hailed as one of the finest strikers in the world a while back when he scored in 11 consecutive matches in the Premier League in Leicester's title winning campaign.
That's a lifetime achievement for most players. Ronaldo has done it in three different competitions. We are at a loss of words.
