10 Amazing Records Of Cristiano
Ronaldo
On Field Records
1. While playing for
Manchester United, Ronaldo
broke George Best’s 33 goal
scoring record, which was
originally set in the 1967–68
season. Being inducted in to the
Manchester United Football Club
made Ronaldo the first ever
Portugese to play for the
football club.
————————————————————
2. Ronaldo became the top
European league player to reach
a milestone of 40 goals in a
single season and that too
executing the task for two
consecutive years.
————————————————————
3. Ronaldo also broke the
record of reaching one hundred
league goals in the shortest
time possible, making him the
fastest player in Real Madrid to
do so. This record will also
include Ronaldo being the first
player to reach the status of
becoming the first player ever to
score against every team in a
single season in the ‘La Liga’.
In addition, while playing for
Real Madrid, he also reached
the record for scoring the most
goals in a single season, which
attributed to most goals being
scored in a single minute for the
same Club.
————————————————————
4. Ronaldo has executed 7
hat tricks in a single football
season, which is the highest
number of hat tricks in a football
season.
————————————————————
5. He became the only player
ever to play for Sporting’s
under-16, under-17, under-18,
B-team, and the first team, all
within one season.
Accolades And Awards
6. While playing for
Manchester United in the
Premier League, Cristiano
Ronaldo became only the 3rd
player in the history of the
league to receive the Barclays
Player of the Month honors for
two consecutive months for
November and December 2006.
The only two remaining players
who received the same award
were: Robbie Fowler, who
received the award in 1996, and
Dennis Bergkamp, who received
it in 1997.
————————————————————
7. Ronaldo has won the
Ballon d’Or award twice, which
is a prestigious football award
granted annually to the player
who has displayed impressive
performance in the previous
year. The selection of the player
goes through a strict regime,
taking votes from players,
coaches and captains who
belong to different teams. The
fact that Ronaldo become the
first Portuguese footballer to win
the award twice makes it an
impressive feat indeed.
————————————————————
8. In addition to winning the
award, Ronaldo also became the
first player in England to grab all
four main PFA and FWA awards,
which he had done in season of
2007.
————————————————————
9. Four days after suffering a
car accident, Ronaldo became
the first player in the Premier
League player to be named the
FIFA World Player of the Year. In
this way, he also became the
first Portuguese player to win
the award since Luís Figo in
2001.
————————————————————
10. Cristiano Ronaldo was
awarded the European Golden
Shoe in the years 2008 and
2011, and is only the 7th player
in the history of the game to win
the award on two occasions.
The remaining players who have
been able to replicate this feat
are Lionel Messi, Thierry Henry,
Fernando Gomes, Ally McCoist,
Dudu Georgescu, Gerd Müller.
However, while winning the
award twice, Ronaldo also
became the only player to claim
it while playing for two different
leagues (English Premier League
and Spanish La Liga).
Other Record
Ronaldo became the most
expensive player in football
history when he was transferred
from Manchester United to Real
Madrid. The transfer took place
in 2009 and was worth £80
million, which is equivalent to
$131.6 million, the record now
has been broken by Gareth Bale
who was transferred from
Tottenham Hotspur to real
madrid in €100 which is
equivalent to $136.77 million.
Ronaldo’s current contract with
Real Madrid states that he is
being paid €21 million per year,
making him the most expensive
football player in the world.
