Cristiano Ronaldo becomes top goal-scorer in soccer history

Cristiano Ronaldo netted his 760th goal, becoming the top scorer in the history of soccer.

Cristiano Ronaldo has become the top goal-scorer in the history of his sport, netting the 760th of his career Wednesday in an Italian Super Cup final between his Juventus side and Napoli.

The historic goal gave Juventus the lead in the 64th minute, eventually clinching the club's record-extending ninth Super Cup title.

With the goal in tow, Ronaldo moves past Josef Bican's previous high-water mark of 759 official career goals to sit atop the all-time list.

The vast majority of those 760 tallies came for Real Madrid, for whom Ronaldo put up 450 goals.

He added 118 during his time wearing the Manchester United shirt, another 102 for his national team, five for his first club, Sporting CP, and 85 with his current side, Juventus.
