Cristiano Ronaldo stands atop almost every record that could be held by a football player. The Portuguese captain has never been off the pinnacle of his career as he continues to better himself with each season.
The former Real Madrid superstar spent just 9 seasons in La Liga and that was enough for him to rewrite the history books at Santiago Bernabeu. He has now returned to Manchester United, the club that announced the legend called Cristiano Ronaldo to the game, much to the joy of each of his fans.

It is said that change is the only constant and Cristiano Ronaldo, too, has adapted to the same principle. Over the course of years, the Manchester United number 7 has changed the way he plays in different leagues, at different phases of his life.
Despite constant changes, two things have always remained constant throughout his career — goals and trophies. While we have lauded and spoken about his trophy achievements quite often, in this article let us take a look at the teams that have been on the receiving end of Ronaldo's bashing the most.
Ranking the clubs Cristiano Ronaldo has scored the most goals against.
#5 Celta Vigo — 20 goals
Take a trip down memory lane while Cristiano Ronaldo still wore the pristine white of Real Madrid. 5th March 2016 was the date and Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid were eyeing their first La Liga trophy since 2012.
Los Blancos registered a 7-1 thumping victory against Celta Vigo at home. Cristiano Ronaldo stole the show by scoring a hat-trick within a span of 14 minutes and adding a fourth 12 minutes after completing the aforementioned feat. This took his tally to four.
It wasn't his only hat-trick against Celta Vigo. He netted three against the same opponents the previous season too. In total, Ronaldo has fired past the Celta Vigo goalpost 20 times!
#4 Barcelona — 20 Goals
A win always meant happiness but the same against bitter-rivals Barcelona just made it sweeter for CR7. Real Madrid's rivalry with Barcelona is considered one of the most intense and celebrated rivalries across all sports.
Even though Cristiano Ronaldo has had the opportunity to play against Barcelona in Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus shirts, he failed to convert against Blaugrana in the red jersey.
Of the total 20 goals, Cristiano Ronaldo's nine came in La Liga, five in the Copa del Rey, two in Supercopa — all with Real Madrid and two in the Champions League with Juventus.
#3 Getafe — 23 Goals
Next up on Cristiano Ronaldo's favorite victims' list is La Liga side Getafe. Ronaldo and Getafe have come face-to-face a total of 14 times. Real Madrid managed to win 13 times out of 14 and lost just once.
Cristiano Ronaldo played a major part in Real Madrid's continued success against Getafe during his stint with Real Madrid. Out of 23 goals, nine came in the form of hat-tricks and ten as braces.
The Portugal international has always been revered by the Getafe team and its fans on an equal basis. They were often forced to witness the legendary Siiuuuuuu celebration.
#2 Atlético Madrid — 25 Goals
Atlético Madrid have to be one of Cristiano Ronaldo's most-favorite opponents. From giving them nightmares in their rivals' white shirts, Ronaldo continued to haunt Diego Simeone and his men in the Juventus jersey too.
Taking his goal numbers to a staggering 25, Cristiano Ronaldo has also registered nine assists against Atlético Madrid. Ronaldo has faced Roji Blancos 16 times in La Liga and has had a goal involvement of 34.
That's not just it. With 10 goal involvements in 10 games in the Champions League and seven from seven in the Copa del Rey, the former Real Madrid and Juventus number 7 has always kept his numbers high against the current La Liga champions.
Juventus' comeback from a 2-0 first leg deficit against Atletico Madrid is considered one of the highlights of Cristiano Ronaldo's career. He scored a hat-trick in the second to edge past Atletico on aggregate (3-2).
The former Madridista also emulated Simeone's celebration (after the first leg win) in order to mock the Argentine coach.
#1 Sevilla — 27 Goals
Cristiano Ronaldo has faced Sevilla eighteen times and has rampaged them by finding the net 27 times. The Andalusian side have always feared a Real Madrid team that included the danger man Ronaldo on their team sheet.
With 14 losses and just four wins, the stats do not support Sevilla in their record against Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid. In his nine seasons in La Liga, the Manchester United legend has grabbed four hat-tricks and one quadruple against the hapless Spanish side.
Cristiano Ronaldo didn't take much time to settle into the Spanish style of gameplay after arriving in the Spanish capital from England. He started scoring right away and even back then, Sevilla were one of his favorite opponents.
