The Portuguese footballing icon ensured yet another record was broken by him as Ronaldo continues his pursuit to be widely recognised as the greatest player of all time

Cristiano Ronaldo now stands alone as the first player in football history to achieve 800 career goals - a ludicrous feat that has not been matched by anyone past or present.

Ronaldo put Manchester United 2-1 up against Arsenal at Old Trafford to reach the remarkable milestone with a typically cool finish into the bottom corner after finding space inside the box.

Typically, he made it 801 just a few minutes later with a powerful penalty to restore a 3-2 lead for his side after being pegged back.

The 36-year-old's desire to be acknowledged by all as the greatest player to ever lace up a pair of boots is well-documented and with this feat, few could argue he hasn't already achieved his aim.

His quest to become a football icon begun just shy of two decades ago, when he notched his first career goal for boyhood club Sporting CP in his home country of Portugal as a teenager.

Few in attendance that day could have predicted that goal would go on to be the first of 800, but such is Ronaldo's overwhelming confidence he may have had an inkling.

While his exploits during his first stint at Manchester United and a nine-year stay at Real Madrid are common knowledge, it is important to highlight just how staggering Ronaldo has performed over the last 12 months given any normal player of his age would be showing signs of entering the twilight of their career.

It is abundantly clear Ronaldo is no normal player - instead, a goal-scoring machine who devotes every inch of himself to prolonging an already illustrious career.

He does so with good reason, he clearly still has the edge of over just about every player in world football, outscoring many elite talents a number of years his junior.

As Ronaldo surpasses the 800-goal mark, the debate will forever rage on surrounding who the best player of all-time is - but there is little debate over the best goal-scorer.

We done graduate pass 7 , leave am for those midgetonians as the midget graduate enter 7 , the Emperor enter 8 hundred...CR800... he does it in front of everyone to see , while the midget does it in hidings, like Nigerian elections

Congratulations to him but according to goal ratio, he is not the best goal scorer.

He needs about 400 more to reach Pele

Congrats to Ronaldo on his 800 goal achievement, but the assertion is false. Josef Bican scored 805 official goals a long time ago. So he isnt the first.
