A few days ago, the football world came together to celebrate the birthday of one of the greatest superstars to ever grace the football pitch. Juventus talisman Cristiano Ronaldo turned 34 on Tuesday, with many managers, fellow players and football fans taking turns to wish him all the best.
Despite entering into his thirties, the Portuguese superstar has shown no signs of slowing down. In fact, he has been going from strength to strength ever since he left Real Madrid for Juventus during the summer, making a name for himself with his incredible performances which have seen him record an amazing 17 goals and 7 assists to his name in 22 Serie A appearances for the Bianconeri so far.
Ronaldo isn't new to breaking records, just as he has demonstrated throughout his illustrious career. Even at 34, the attacker is still on track to add memorable records to his name this season and below, we take a look at 5 of them:
#5 Juventus player with most goals in a single season
Cristiano Ronaldo has set the Old Ladies Stadium on fire with his unbelievable goalscoring exploits ever since he switched to Turin during the summer.
Having bagged 8 goals in 29 appearances for the Bianconeri across all competitions so far this season, the Portuguese maestro has put himself on track to beat Ferenc Hirzer's record and become the Juventus player with the most goals in a single season.
Hirzer, who scored an amazing 35 goals in 26 games for the Old Ladies during the 1925/1926 season has held on to this record for almost a century but he is now in danger of losing it, with Cristiano Ronaldo coming at full force and looking unstoppable in front of goal.
The Portuguese only needs just 17 more goals to reach the mark this season and it looks like a realistic target for the attacker considering his unstoppable form at the moment.
#4 Most goals in a single Serie A season
Apart from the opportunity to establish himself as the Juventus superstar with the most goals in a single season, Cristiano Ronaldo also has the chance to become the player to score the most goals in a single Serie A campaign.
This record is currently shared between Torino legend Gino Rossetti who scored a whopping 36 goals during the 1928/1929 season, and Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain, who also scored as many during his stint with Napoli FC during the 2015/2016 campaign.
Having already found the back of the net an impressive 17 times in 22 Serie A appearances so far this season, Cristiano Ronaldo only needs 19 goals in the Italian top flight in order to match this record. With about 16 games still left to be played in the division, the attacker has a good chance to reach the feat.
#3 The first player to win top scorer in EPL, La Liga, and Serie A
A highly talented, hardworking and ambitious superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo has been a winner throughout his football career, just as we all witnessed during his time at Manchester United and Real Madrid.
The attacker had prolific campaigns in both the Premier League and the Spanish La Liga, winning the top scorer prize in both divisions and he is well on track to do the same in the Serie A, thanks to his incredible efforts in front of goal so far this season.
If he succeeds in winning the coveted prize in the Italian top flight, he will become the first player in the history of the game to win the honor across the Premier League, the La Liga and the Serie A. He is currently occupying the first position in the goalscoring chart at the moment with 17 goals to his name and all eyes will be on him to claim the accolade come the end of the term.
#2 Winning the UEFA Champions League with 3 different clubs
After failing to win the UEFA Champions League despite reaching the final twice in the past 4 years, Juventus have made the European tournament a priority and there is no denying the Bianconeri signed Cristiano Ronaldo during the summer to bolster their chances of winning the competition this term.
Arguably the greatest player in the history of the tournament, Ronaldo has enjoyed immense success in the Champions League in the past few years, winning it for the first time at Manchester United in the 2007/2008 season before leading Real Madrid to claim the European crown in three consecutive seasons between 2016 and 2018.
If the Portuguese attacker manages to lead the Bianconeri to claim the Champions League this season, he will break Clarence Seedorf's record as the only player to win the competition with three different teams.
#1 The first player to win titles in England, Spain, and Italy
There are many records that Cristiano Ronaldo can break at Juventus this season but this seems to be the simplest of all. If the attacker can win the Serie A title with the Bianconeri this season, he will also become the first player in the history of the game to win titles in England, Spain, and Italy.
This looks almost certain for the attacker, given Juventus' staggering domestic dominance in the Serie A at the moment, with the Old Lady having claimed the Scudetto in each of the past 7 seasons.
Currently sitting on top of the Serie A table with a whopping 60 points, 9 ahead of second-placed Napoli and with just 16 games to go, this could be an easy ride for the club and Ronaldo who is on track to add another fantastic record to his name.
